Welcome to my planet,
whatever you'll find here are mostly
virtual, fictitious, surrealist, absurd or nonsense
however once you get used to it,
they may make some sense.
 
digital photography

I've been interested in photography since 1981. First camera that I used was Minolta, which was lost in 1996 and I could not have a new one until 2001, so no photographs between 1996-2001. My next camera was a Nikon coolpix 995 which is replaced by a Sony f828 in 2004 and then by a Sony Alpha in 2007. You may reach some photos at:

Babam VIII. Henry, bu gün gibi aklýmda, Anam Anne Boleyn'in kafasýný uçurttuðunda, O gün yemin ettim bu daðlara ve taºlara, Bu deniz ve bu gökyüzüne, Yemin ettim ki zalim babamýn üzerine, Haram olsun bana, içtiðim su, yediðim ekmek, Haram olsun, eðer evlenirsem bir kez Bu ikiyüzlü dünyada. Ben bakire adýyla ünlü Elizabeth, "The Queen of the Land", Neredeyse elli yýllýk hükümranlýðým boyunca, Ziyarete gelirim böyle her yýlbaºýnda, Londra kulesinin mahkumlarýna. Sanma ki sefil adam, zavallý Bacon, Bu dünyadaki ömrümü tükettim diye Vazgeçerim alýºtýðým huyumdan. Hiç acýmam sana, beter ol, sürün! Sen ayartmadýn mý onu, O ºýmarýk budala küçük Essex kontunu? Ýyi tanýrdým onun saf uçarý ruhunu, Ýyi bilirdim "nedir? ne yapar? ne yapamaz?" Onu pek çok severdim, Çok iyiyiydi, çok hoºtu. Ama neye yarar ki dinletemedim ona, Bildiðini okudu, Beceremedi iºte, göremedi sonunu. Ve sen, fýrsat dükünü, Gitmeyince iºleri umduðun gibi, Týktýrtmadýnmý onu, bu karanlýk zindana. Bir menfaat uðruna: yaranmak için bana. Ününe ün katacak o önemli davada, ne demiºtin o zaman sunduðun savunmada: "O iyi bir insandýr, iyi yurttaº deðildir, ama iyi yurttaºlýk herºeyden önemlidir". Palavra, palavra, palavra! Ýnanýrým mý sandýn, inanmadýðýn lafa.

 

Above is an encripted short-short story that I dedicated to Elzabeth I and Bacon. If you are interseted in how crypto had been used in history you may read my article "everything can be written by everything " at our online magazine metafor.
