For half of the day today, we are hosting a takeover of images by #Istanbul photographer Yener Torun (cimkedi), who describes his work as a kind of cross between minimalist and street photography. After being hired by Google in 2015, he became known for his vivid, colorful, and surprising architectural work. “I dig through every corner of the city to find these places,” the photographer explains, “It’s quite like a treasure hunt since the city is full of grey and bland buildings.” // #architecture #architecturephotography #minimal_perfection #minimal #mindtheminimal #learnminimalism #contemporaryphotography http://ift.tt/2c95HLg
“It’s an exploration of the paradox of human plurality. The fact is that all human beings are in some sense the same. We’re all members of the same species. We have millions of years of evolution that has made us what we are today. The period of our cultural evolution
is relatively small by contrast. The period in which we have become different culturally, ethnically in appearance is only a small part of our evolutionary history. We are both, as it were, the same, as with all other human beings, and every individual is absolutely
different genetically and in character. I think anthropology is possibly the most alluring and edifying way of exploring plurality.” - Michael Jackson (Anthropologist at Havard University)
“I wonder now I’ve not been a fool. You’ve always been so good to me Daisy, so true. But I could never see it.”
“That’s kind of you to say. And good to hear. I loved you Alfred. I’ll not deny it. But that’s done me now. And what I felt won’t come back. It’s time for you to go your way and me to go mine.”
“But you wish me well?”
“Oh I do Alfred, yeah. So well. So very well. Friends. Forever.”
“Friends forever Daisy.”
