I used to work with a woman, a mother of two. She would do crazy things for her children. One day she came in really tired, had a long day. She said -one of the things she did that day – her little girl asked for some muffins for her lunch bag and…
There’s not much to add to the pictures here. It’s the existince I carry with me. You wake, it’s there. You sleep, it’s there. You breath, it’s there and one day when I stop, it’ll be there. What an amazing place the childhood is. It moulds you, it tells you. Its music makes…
I’ve been wanting to write about gaffa tape but will leave it to another day… One should never underestimate the power of it. But for today, I’m grateful that my children spent a day with their grandmother. Kaan’s got to meet her for the first time and Ada’s last visit to Turkey was…
A new exhibition is on the way. “Living Journey”… Have put the work up tonight and pretty pleased with the way it looked on the wall. The opening is on Wednesday night and will be on till the 8th of February. Apoligies for the picture, taken by the mobile on the spot…
My mother is obsessed with planting new trees. She’s created a little orchard at our frontyard but we never really nurtured it. I watched Ada picking some mulberries with her friends the other day, it was beautiful. Bilgin and I thought she was a bit over doing it with the trees but we…
Sick as a dog today. Driving on the freeway from Mt Eliza last night, I thought I’d never make it home Although I couldn’t lift my head up the pillow today, when I did, it was beautiful to see Kaan and Ada were playing together so interactively. It was a delightful scene.

There’ll be a time that I’ll be posting other things than photographs of my own children but for now I couldn’t pass on this. After a long struggle of decision making process, we’ve decided Ada will be going to school next year and today she had a wonderful graduation party at her kinder….
We paused to put up the xmas tree today. Ada suggested we set it up at the backyard to reduce Kaan’s attacks on it. It’ll give us extra excuse to be at the backyard. Kaan was fascinated with what was going on and had a ball playing around, helping, breaking. I left Ada…
It’s true that the house got messier and messier with the kids and I’ve learnt to relax about it. Every now on then I look around and get dizzy but hey, my kids didn’t arrive easy and I wouldn’t trade anything back. Ada leaves a lot of precious marks around the house whether…
