        Pictures
        
          I am interested in photography and I really like taking pictures. 
          Unfortunately, I am not dealing with development process due to 
          financial constraints. I currently own a Canon EOS Elan IIe with a 
          Canon 28-105mm f3.5/4.5 EF USM lens, a Canon PowerShot S1 IS, and a 
          Zenith ET, which is an old but reliable and nice machine, at least it 
          was so until I broke it. The pictures I took indicate which machine 
          was used to capture it. Some of those pictures were actually taken by 
          other people after I made the setup so that I can be in the frame. 
          Pictures without the camera indication were taken by other people.  
          
         
         
        Poetry
        
          There are zillions of poetry pages out there on the web, and mine 
          is in no way a page that claims to be one of the 'poetry pages'. I 
          just wanted to let others read poems of a good friend, whose work is 
          too good to be hidden. I also added a couple of my poems there. The 
          page and the poems are in Turkish, and I cannot dare to translate them 
          to English, given my language skills. But if you know Turkish, feel 
          free to have a look at the page, and drop me a couple of lines if you 
          have anything, good or bad, to say.
