One day I will live in Paris

A few weeks ago I had a chance to spend a Sunday lunch time in Paris. I was invited to one of my dearest friends holy 30th birthday party. It was a quick one day trip that was full of joy. Here is Paris, me and our short but so precious reunion.

Give Away: Paris vs New York Postcards

Paris vs Newyork postcards are illustrations from Vahram Muratyan's blog project, where he illustrates the tally of two cities. It's definite that the illustrations own the perfection of simplicity with a strong sense of humour.

"A friendly visual match between two cities told by a lover of Paris wandering through New York. Details, clichés, contradictions: This way, please."  

Now, you have a chance to get one of these postcards as a celebration of launching. By the way, it's the first give away project of the Little Miss Postcrosser, so I'm really excited. ;)

Good Bye Lenin!

Checkpoint Charlie - Berlin Wall

"My mother outlived the GDR by three days. I believe it was a good thing she never learned the truth. She died happy. She wanted us to scatter her ashes to the winds. That's prohibited in Germany, both East and West. But we didn't care. She's up there somewhere now. Maybe looking down at us. Maybe she sees us as tiny specks on the Earth's surface, just like Sigmund Jähn did back then. The country my mother left behind was a country she believed in; a country we kept alive till her last breath; a country that never existed in that form; a country that, in my memory, I will always associate with my mother." - Good Bye Lenin!

Photojournalism: Praying

“Photojournalists and photographers are always confused. We are not photographers, but photojournalists. We record our period and leave it to the next generation. This is not ‘being a photographer’ but ‘being a photojournalist.’ I am not a photography artist. Being an artist is different. I am fed up with this word ‘art.’” - Ara Güler

Allah - Old Mosque, Edirne, Turkey by Ara Güler

“I could not reach a number of men that I wanted to photograph. I wanted to take photos of Einstein, but I was not ‘Ara Güler’ when he died in 1955, I was just an ordinary photographer. I could not take photos of Jean Paul Sartre either, because of my incompetence. Also, there’s Charlie Chaplin. These are important people.” - Ara Güler

Rendez-vous à Paris

"... in the movies Paris is designed as a backdrop for only three things--love, fashion shows, and revolution."
