Hello,

This is a fresh start for me to share my experiences during my walk on the path to photography.

I should probably call myself an “advanced amateur”; though the meaning of this may fluctuate depending on the weight you give to the word “advanced”. To give some credibility to my claim to be “advanced”, I can tell you that I spend more time thinking & reading on & about photography and practising it then I do to earn my living lately… Obviously, this may only show how devoted I am and it does not prove anything about the level of my experience. Considering the level where I aim to reach towards the end of this “path”, I have a lot more to learn then I know already. In that sense, I am closer to a “beginner”, which sounds even better! A beginner can make more mistakes without a blush on his/her face and can learn faster…

Anyway, I hope you find some useful ideas and bits of information here. In addition to books and magazines; I read some Internet photography sources, including blogs, and I may occasionally comment on those as well.

The blog is “not” bilingual in the strict sense but I will try to write also in Turkish, my native language, for my fellow citizens. The English and Turkish versions may not be translations of each other though; that may be too time consuming…

Finally, I would like to thank Duru Can Celasun, the “brains” behind the design and operation of “Path to Photography“; let’s hope the way he helped to pave the stones of provides us a nice walk…

Yıllardır fotoğraf çeken, son yıllarda özellikle zaman ayırma açısından fotoğrafa yaşamında daha da fazla yer veren biri olarak burada deneyimlerimi paylaşmaya başlıyorum.

Blog, temelde İngilizce olacak ama, kimi notları Türkçe de yazmaya çalışacağım. Ancak, İngilizce yazdıklarımın tam bir çevirisini sağlamaya söz veremem. Öte yandan, kimi zaman, ana metin Türkçe olup İngilizcesini kısa tutabilirim. Blog sahibi olarak bu kadar hakkım olsun artık!

Sitenin tasarımı ve işleyişi ile ilgili kodlama büyük ölçüde Duru Can Celasun’a ait. Katkıları için ona çok teşekkür ediyorum.

Hadi bakalım!
