Making photography a professional pursuit in life
ISTANBUL - Emre Dörter stayed on in Italy to get some real-life experience in photography after completing his master’s degree at the Accademia Italia before returning home. He says over time he has developed an affinity to shoot still-life pictures, as he does now. ’For everything, there has to be a separate preparation, structure, equipment, eye and approach. To find opportunities to work in different styles is very attractive, in spite of it being stressful for a careful professional,’ he says.
Youth tackles caste system and socializes self-interest
ISTANBUL - Istanbul tenth grader Sid Shekhar wraps up a global leadership week at Harvard University where he is taking a yearlong project to the next level: He hopes to contribute to a movement to abolish the caste system in India. If world citizenship is revealed through one's plans to help people who benefit the least from the globalization, then Shekhar is surely a leader among citizens.
A Bird’s Eye View : Greed, and just honest greed
Another setback for Obama’s liberal policies: This one concerns the closing of Guantanamo Bay prison. The Senate, a few weeks ago, with a 90 to 6 vote, withheld the $80 million needed to close the facility because the administration failed to provide information about where the detainees would go.
Please match me a match!
Simple fact: If you have a nine to five job, you cannot watch daytime TV. That is a mixed blessing. On the plus side, you do not have to see "Big Brother," "Would You Be My Bride?" or its more deviant derivative, such as "Would You Be My Daughter-in-Law?" On the minus side, you are painfully devoid of the "real agenda" of the people and miss out on local celebrities.
In a fast shrinking world of their own
ISTANBUL - The rise of the religious class and the AKP’s hold on power has Turkey’s traditional elites on the defensive and feeling like their role as upholders of Republican values is being usurped, according to research based on interviews with the former movers and shakers.
No comment
Cruising on the highway between Ankara and Istanbul you can read all funny things written at the back of the lorries. As I was sick and tired of that debate about cleansing mines that are planted along Turkey's southeastern border, my spirits rose on the Istanbul highway when confronted by the lorry drivers' jargon. An example:
Wet drinks for dry people
As we sit in a bar in the heart of London, my friend complains to me that "all this theoretical work, my dear, is really futile. Look at the war Turkey had been pulled into with the Kurdistan workers’ Party, or PKK, since 1983, what good has academia done to prevent the death of innocent civilians or young soldiers?" Knowing he would not be convinced by any words anytime soon and partly agreeing with him, I took a sip from my prosecco and watched his pain over the struggles of the land he - at a distance - and I belonged to.
Let’s accept it: Our mentality is different than EU’s
Yesterday, I wrote about a field study titled "Radicalism and Extremism Research" by Professor Yılmaz Esmer and shared my opinion on the results. According to the findings, Turkish people do not want neighbors who do not believe in God (75 percent), who drink (72 percent), who live out of wedlock (67 percent), who are Jews (64 percent), who are Christians (52 percent) and who are an American family (43 percent).
Davutoğlu’s response to Merkel and Sarkozy
Things are like that. If you are late in taking the necessary steps, your opponents will take action and put obstacles in your way. Turkey was late in negotiations with the EU regarding full membership, and Merkel and Sarkozy have immediately taken action. They have brought out the old "privileged partnership" formula.
Did I say a land of lunacy? I was too sanguine
When I wrote last week "The rough guide to Turkey: A land of history, sunshine and lunacy" (Daily News, May 1), I did not know I was underestimating the Crescent and Star. Only a few days after that article appeared in this column, what became "international breaking news" informed us about the massacre in a Kurdish village. Did I say lunacy? I did, not realizing the limits it could reach in these lands.
Trabzon parts ways with Yanal
ISTANBUL - Coach Ersun Yanal resigns from his job at Trabzonspor, following fan and board reaction after 3-0 loss to Turkcell Super League leader Sivasspor. Despite leading Trabzon to one of its best performances in a decade, Yanal leaves due to failing to end team's 25-year title drought
Summer heroes to invade movie theaters
LOS ANGELES - Starting May 1, barely a weekend will pass without another brawny special-effects extravaganza landing in theaters. Appropriately, summer starts with a couple of prequels such as 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine,' 'Star Trek,' 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,' 'Transformers,' Terminator: Salvation’ and ’District 9’
Tough times for the Turkish people working in US
ISTANBUL - People who have working permits to work in the United States are pushed aside, as the federal government is urging companies to prioritize US citizens when seeking to hire new employees. Some 300,000 Turkish citizens who are working in the US are feeling the pain of joblessness as the gap between citizens and non-citizens continues to grow further
Russian canine fashion defies crisis
MOSCOW - For mankind's four-legged friends the rigours of the Russian winter have long required some extra layers to keep out the cold. Designers like Svetlana Abramova are unlocking the commercial potential of the instinct to pamper one's pooch and are breaking into foreign markets by launching their own brands
Lifeline for Kars just across the border
KARS - If trade is life, one could easily say the province of Kars in the northeast of the country is slowly losing its will to survive. While Turkey shut its border with Armenia as reparations to that country, the declining living standards, bankrupt economy and migration has left the people of Kars thinking they are the ones being punished.
Provocative politics as the family business
ISTANBUL -The Turkish intelligentsia erupted in commotion when he suggested Turkey needs a "Second Republic." Some celebrate him as an economic genius who supports unconditional democracy. Others, however, deride him for once abandoning his ideals to accommodate "political realities" at the time.
Running for her life with nothing to lose
ISTANBUL - Rock singer Aylin Aslım has a new album and little tolerance for nonsense. She says she’s ’still not in that accept-everything stage. I hope I never get there.’ With a concert this Wednesday in Istanbul premiering her third album in stores next month, Aslim’s songs have earned acceptance from some 200,000 listeners online
