Ara Güler – Black & White Photos
This is a beautiful video – a collage of Ara Guler’s black and white photographs of Istanbul. It is an homage to the Istanbul of days gone by. A world that has vanished now. Sad thing is, all of these people in the photographs have passed from their difficult lives. The poverty is evident in these bleak photographs but so is the human spirit and the souls of these people that Ara Güler found and photographed as he walked along the cobbled streets of Istanbul. The music accompanying the video is Nightwish-Sleeping Sun.
You can read more about the life of Ara Guler from a previous article of mine on the Imagine Istanbul site here.
