The Collective :The Bird ( kus guvercin resimleri )
The Collective
There are a lot of artists/art thats overlooked on dA. I will be posting a different subject every few weeks to bring some exposure to different artists, cameras, genre's, subjects etc.
The Bird
Its hard to explain what is so appealing about this subject. The Beatles had a song about a blackbird, Edgar Allen Poe wrote about The Raven, John Keats made an Ode to a Nightingale etc. They say birds are a lucky omen, a symbol of faith, a sign of prosperity and associated with freedom. I think im going to stop there in trying to explain this subject. Theyre already beautiful in their simplicity whether it be one bird in the sky, the evil goose at the lake or the pigeons in Paris I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I did.

Sener Sen resimleri ( YAZ KIZIM :)
Sener Sen resimleri yaz kızım şener şen manyak bir filmi
03.27.07 (9:52 am) [edit]
Şener Şen Olabilmek.. Şu resime bir bakın
Şener Şen Olabilmek Çocukluğuma ait bazı resimler var zihnimde; sevdiklerime, oynadığım oyunlara ve siyah beyaz bir yığın anıya dair. Ama en renkli olan benim sinemalarım. Okumayı yazmayı bilmezken bile
her pazar sabahı, bana çok kocaman gözüken, kıpkırmızı kadife perdeleri kalkınca ortaya çıkan beyaz perdem. Şimdiki çocukların televizyonlarda kuru, sıkıcı seyrettikleri, oysa benim konulu
film tadında bitmesin diye dilediğim upuzun yolculuğum, çizgi filmlerim.
Aşkım yaşımla daha da büyüyor. Dr.Jivago, İrlandalı Kız, Orada Olmak, Batı Yakası’nın hikayesi ve onlarcası yolculuğumun ana durakları… Sıcaklar bastırınca ay çekirdekli, çamlıca gazozlu yazlık
sinemalarım. Çok renkli, hayal dünyamı teklifsizce, arsızca genişleten bir şey bu, hala naif kalabilmeyi başarabilmişsem bundandır, artık biliyorum.
İlk genç kızlığım, bu seferki ritüel bambaşka. Her cumartesi 14.30 matineleri, yine aynı kardeş, kuzen kalabalıkları ile seyredilen bolca gülünen sinemalarım. İşte o filmlerde ruhuma sinen, yüreğime dokunan birisine her geçen gün büyüyen bir sevdayla bağlandım. Bu bir kadının bir erkeğe duyduğu hayranlıktan da öte bir şeydi. Adlandırılmayan, kirletilmemiş, ihanete uğramamış ve beni hiç terk etmeyen bir aşk “Şener Şen”.
70’li yıllarımın Şener Şen’i , mahallenin yakışıklısı, İzmit İtfayesinin gururu, Gilette Türkiye distribütör&uum l;, nikah şekeri pazarlamacısı, iki tarafı idare eden, içten pazarlıklı ve hiçbir işte dikiş tutturamamış birisiydi ama biz onu bu çelişkileri rağmen kuvvetle sevdik. İşte bu yüzdendir ki, hepsi onun rol aldığı filmleri başyapıt haline getirmeyi başardı. Tabii ki ve illa ki Kemal Sunal’ı, Adile Naşit'i, Münir Özkul’u , Ayşen Gruda’yı ve ona yol arkadaşlığı yapmış nicediğer oyunculara da binlerce şükran sunmak hepimize ve onlara en yakışan…
Kendi deyişiyle, kendini bir yere hapsetmekten korkan Şen, Hababam Sınıfı(1975), Tosun Paşa (1976), Gülen Gözler (1977), Kibar Feyzo, Neşeli Günler (1978), Davaro(1981) Şalvar Davası (1983) vb. gibi filmlerde yarattığı jestlere dayalı oyunculuktan mimiklere dayalı oyunculuğa yaptığı keskin geçişle biz tutkunlarını şaşırttı ve bir o kadar da keyiflendirdi. Züğürt Ağa’daki (1985) konumuna, toprağına,
özüne inat naif bir ağayı, Namuslu’da (1984) insanın içini sızlatacak berrak bir ruhun her türlü çirkefe karşı direnişini, Muhsin Bey’de (1987) umudu, Aşk Filmlerinin Unutulmaz Yönetmeni’nde (1990)
her şeye rağmen ayak diremeyi, Eşkıya’da (1996) ömrünün en güzel 35 yılını cezaevinde geçirmiş ve her şeye inat, Keje’si için hayata tutunmaya çalışmış, son atımlık barutunu da bunun için İstanbul’da
onu bulmaya çalışarak kullanan ve yolları Tarlabaşı’nda kendi gibi yitik biriyle kesişen bir adamı oynadı.
Biz onun her filmini defalarca tekrar tekrar, hiç izlememiş, daha önce hiç gülmemiş ya da hiç ağlamamış gibi seyrettik. Ve o yine yapacağını yaptı, karşımıza İkinci Bahar’la (1999) çıktı. Bir kadını böylesi hesapsız, bebek masumiyetinde seven Haydar Usta gibilerinin yok olduğu günümüz dünyasında bize yaşattığı masaldan hiç uyanmak istemedik ve ona yeniden vurulduk.
Peki neydi onun sırrı, oyunculuğunu erişilmez kılan, erişilmez olduğu kadar içimize işleyen sahicilikte olan sır? Öğretmenlikten tezgahtarlığa girip çıkılmadık iş bırakmayan, ama yine de ille de tiyatrocu olmak isteyen bu adamın Şehir Tiyatro’larına “konservatuarlı oyuncu isteriz” demelerine rağmen bedava da çalışırım diyen ruh muydu, yoksa bu renkli yaşamında biriktirdikleri mi onu bu kadar sahici ve sevilesi kılan?
Ve şimdi yeniden aramızda o, “Yürek Yarası” filmi ile bir kere daha onsuzluğun yarasını saracak yüreğimizde.
O artık kendisi gibi vazgeçilmezimiz olmuş Sezen Aksu’nun canım şarkılarından birinde söylediği gibi “Geride durabilmeyi, öteki olabilmeyi “ başarmış biri. Şener Şen olabilmek böyle bir şey
galiba.

FEATURE: the story behind the photo.
I've always been intrigued by the process that photographers go through when they take their photos. What goes through their mind when they shoot? Why do they compose a shot a certain way? How did they mean for the shot to be interpreted?
I decided I was going to find out. I contacted several friends and asked them to choose a photo from their gallery, then share the story behind it. The responses I received were more than I could have hoped for: not only were the photos incredible (of course that was to be expected from these talented photographers), but the stories that accompanied them were incredibly insightful. I enjoyed reading each and every one of them, and am extremely grateful to them for their help. I hope that you will enjoy these stories as much as I did
"Gone in January"
by *LutherBash
"At that time a friend of mine was in hospital fighting cancer. It was clear that he's going to die, he was on heavy morphine already. I visited him about one week earlier, basically to say goodbye. After seeing him, i knew that it won't take very long, it could happen tomorrow or a week or two later.
The day the photograph was taken, it was one of those dark misty days, I thought of him a lot since I woke up. I love misty days and it matched my mood very well, so I had to get out and shoot; what I like about photographing is, that it relaxes the mind.
The location I choose was a little lake that I haven't visited for quite awhile. The first thing I stumbled across was this scene, which strucked me with its clear symbolism. That's it, the next day I got a call that he passed away the day before, he was 38."

"catch the dying light"
by =blushark
"After returning from a hard day on the beach, heh, we went straight for the fridge to replenish our energy. We were just eating at the table when I noticed beautiful warm rays of light on her face, of outworldly coloration to say the least. I told her to "wait and not move" and ran to my room to get the camera, put film in it while running back, knowing that these rays will last for a minute at best -- sun had already touched the sea and rays were coming through dense palm leaves in front of my door. the interplay of angles and reflections gave us this exclusive opportunity, but only for a short time... so I guess this is a very spontaneous portrait. No one saw it coming until a minute before, and a minute later I was already putting down the camera and going on to eat whatever it was we were eating..."
"Vintage Kiss"
by ~cande-knd
"Esta foto es muy importante para mi ya que fue un poco dificil lograr este momento, tuve q poner la cara en disparo automatico y correr inmediatamente a lograr lo que queria en la pose, Esta foto me transmite muchos sentimientos al verla." El color, la intencion, el medio que rodea la foto, toso esos factores hacen q me inspire melancolía y al mismo tiempo elegancia, talvez la espera de algo que nunca llegará o esta muy cercano a lograrse."
English translation by ~Fee-Creations:
""This photo is very important to me because it was a little difficult to achieve this moment. I had to put my camara in automatic shot and run inmediately to get in the pose. This photo transmits a lot of feelings when I see it. The color, the intention, everything surrounding the photo, all these factors produce sadness and elegance at the same time...Maybe an endless wait for something that never would come or that is soon to be achieved."
"i still can't believe it"
by ~super-glue
"It's all about love and junk. All that confusing ewwy stuff that always has 2 sides. (at least for me) like good and bad, right and wrong, pleasant or painful, easy and difficult, happy and miserable. It's about how love can change you. The left side kinda representing the good side of love. (The balloons were from Valentine's day) and the crying eye.. well, obviously.
It's about how love finds a way to break you and set you free at the same time. It can destroy you, or it can be the most beautiful and powerful thing in the world. It can be all you crave, or it can be all that you regret. Either way, it will always change you."
"Modern Exterior"
by *Aukon
"So my Father and I were planning a trip to Vietnam for one week, spend the weekend in Malaysia, and then another week in Vietnam from Australia (my Mother didn't want to go). I was browsing through some images of some stunning architecture, when I found one picture I liked, which was the Pertronas Towers. The architecture to me looked so beautiful, and I loved the modern look and feel to it. And I really wanted to photograph something like it, and to my surprise, it was not far from where we were going to stay, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
When we got to Malaysia (after the week in Vietnam), we took a city tour and which gave me the chance to photograph the towers. I got out of the car to get a good view from the entrance. The towers were huge, and so modern like. I felt a little bit of excitement, as I saw what I saw in photographs, in real life. So then I was getting myself into place, and took photos in all different angles. I took photos standing up, keeling down, twisting and turning my arms, just to get the shots I wanted.
Then, a woman (who obviously tried to sell me something) shouted to me from a distance “Nice shirt”. I replied with a thank you, which then she had the chance to tell me what I could buy inside the store, I paid no attention to it, as I was not interested at all.
After a few more shots, I then realized the tour guide was waiting for my return. I went across the road, took a couple of more shots where I was, and went in the car to explore the city some more. I found myself back there later the same day, to see the insides. The architecture was just as amazing as the exterior, and saw the view of the city from the sky bridge.
It started with inspiration, a dream, and then a reality. Personally, I feel “Modern Exterior” is my best photograph, and I felt it was worth coming to Kuala Lumpur for the photo."
"One Week, Two Days, Four Hours"
by ~Jagged-lil-pill
"My photograph 'One Week, Two Days, Four Hours' is probably the photo in my gallery that has the most significent story behind it. I moved away from home in September to go to university and I only get to see my family every three months. My family are all very close and I have a seven month old niece (she was only a month old when I moved away) who I am totally crazy about, she's amazing."
After coming back home for a month and then having to go back to university I felt really homesick but at the same time I was really excited about the fact that I was living on my own and had total independance. All my friends were feeling the same. I was given a ten week long self-portrait project for university and seven weeks into it I hadn't even began to produce any images for it, I didn't want to photograph myself and I just wasn't motivated at all.
One day I was speaking to my Mum on the phone and I just started to blub,
I ended the phonecall and started to take photographs of myself randomly. I don't consider this one of my 'better' photographs but it set me on my way to getting my project done. None of the other photographs in the series were anything like this, they were all quite optimistic and happy. When I went into uni to talk about my work with my lecturers I thought they would totally slate me and hate all that I had produced. I thought they would brand it too literal and 'cheesy' which is how I view it but I actually got the most positive feedback I have ever had from any tutor/lecturer/teacher in my life. That gave me a whole different attitude towards university and right now I am having the best time of my life. After I took this photograph I ran into town and got a tattoo on my left wrist for everyone at home whom I miss which is also very literal and cheesy but I like it all the same.

So she'd been lying down and i'd been taking photos of the ocean and etc because i'm cool like that, and then all of a sudden she stood up on the chair she was sleeping on [see this]. I quickly snapped a shot of her and voila, we have snaaapshot."
"Brume de nuit"
by *as2pik
The photo is "Brume de nuit", which in english means "night's fog". My problem was that I didn't have a tripod; in fact with 100 ISO to get no noise on a dark night, the shutter speed was about 5 seconds. So I used a syrup bottle and took 3 photos but none were correct. At about the 4th try, at the end of the shot my camera fell, but the photo was good. I was lucky because I am on the ninth floor and the camera fell to the right side and not in the street...

"my exit, unfair"
by ~girlfromvenus
"When I shot this I didn't have anything in mind, I was just drawn to the tentacle-like things that seemed to bind him to the earth, like they met there for some odd reason. As I worked on the picture, I was listening to this song (the title's inspiration), and every word hit me as if it was about my past. I think sometimes when people make a drastic exit in their life, from a relationship or place or anything, they do it hoping it will make some profound impact. But what if that's not what happens at all? What if they end up misdirected and alone? Our own ignorance can sometimes lead us to a place of darkness. "Now I spend my days in ever increasingly complicated ways... my exit, unfair if unobserved".
"Green Blue Yeah"
by ~mister-kovacs
"This photo was taken in Nicaragua on the volcanic island Ometepe. After some months of social work my mates and I decided to make a trip to the legendary isla Ometepe, which arose around two volcanoes in the gigantic Nicaragua lake. We lived on the less developed part of the island, in between jungle huts of an economic farm and a tiny village. As we left the farm to explore the island, we passed by a green house with blue windowshutters. My friends kept going to play with the monkeys, that were jumping around the house, while I took some pics of the amazing, colourful wall. The nica-people looked at my as if I were crazy, for they didn't see anything special, worth to be photographed. However I was absolutely aware of the simple beauty and I felt really lucky to have spotted the house. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the funky monkeys that were all around the house. But I guess, it was good to stop by the house, instead of rushing to the monkeys ..."

As we left the farm to explore the island, we passed by a green house with blue windowshutters. My friends kept going to play with the monkeys, that were jumping around the house, while I took some pics of the amazing, colourful wall. The nica-people looked at my as if I were crazy, for they didn't see anything special, worth to be photographed. However I was absolutely aware of the simple beauty and I felt really lucky to have spotted the house. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the funky monkeys that were all around the house. But I guess, it was good to stop by the house, instead of rushing to the monkeys ..."

Our best friends ( cats and dogs ) ( kedi köpek resimleri )
Yeah, they bring us joy & comfort. That's why we all love them! 
"...He has told me a thousand times over that
I am his reason for being: by the way he
rests against my leg; by the way he thumps
his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he
shows his hurt when I leave without taking him.
I think it makes him sick with worry when he
is not along to care for me..."
(by G. Hill)
The peace and joy you give me, no words can ever tell,
The lessons that you teach me, in my heart will always dwell,
Your purrs bring forth divinity, to comfort, heal and bless,
Wondrous being, praise to you for your gracious loveliness.

International Women's Week: Focus on Abuse
This article is the first in a bi-weekly set of articles on the forms of Abuse. Women's Week was chosen as the time to kick this off due to personal interests of the Author.
a·buse /v. əˈbyuz; n. əˈbyus/
–verb (used with object)
1. to use wrongly or improperly; misuse: to abuse one's authority.
2. to treat in a harmful, injurious, or offensive way: to abuse a horse; to abuse one's eyesight.
3. to speak insultingly, harshly, and unjustly to or about; revile; malign.
4. to commit sexual assault upon.
5. Obsolete. to deceive or mislead.
Abuse. The University of Michigan Health System website states that in
Abuse comes in many forms, but for this week, we will be focusing on sexual abuse. In the future, I hope for more news editorials focusing on each form of abuse documented.
Sexual abuse, which is also called molestation, is the forcing of sexual acts upon a person which are unwanted, whether expressed or not. Some of the forms of sexual abuse are spousal sexual abuse, rape, and child molestation. Within these, depending on the abuser, can be non-consensual sexual behavior, psychological abuse, and using a position of power and trust for sexually controlling purposes.
Spousal abuse falls strongly to the use of a position of trust for control in a sexual situation. Without consent, this is consider molestation or rape, regardless of the fact the individuals are married or in a relationship. In that same light, as we have seen in the news in years past, this position of trust has been used in schools to manipulate young students into sexual 'relationships' with their teachers. Countries vary in their age restrictions for the legal age for consensual sex; most striving to set the bar at the age they feel most individuals are mature enough in all aspects to handle a physical relationship. These are set in place to protect the youth from being exploited and in some cases traumatized by unwanted sex or sex they are unprepared to handle.
Psychological control is a measure used by an abuser to ensure that their victim feels there is no way out, or that, should they tell, no one would believe them. Speaking from personal experience, I can say that this can be one of the most damaging things in abuse. Without the
belief that you can turn to those around you for help, you can and often times do sink into a depressed state and withdraw from your world, feeling as if no one can help you, or would ever believe you over the older and more 'respected' individual inflicting said hardships upon you.
I would like to thank you, the deviants, for taking the time to read my first news article on this important matter, and I especially express thanks to `bellchild for helping me figure out exactly what I should say, and helping me to remember block quoting.
In closing, I am providing links to websites on sexual abuse (some of which I have cited in this news article), as well as some deviations concerning abuse for you to view.
Thank you.

Abuse. The University of Michigan Health System website states that in
1998 women experienced an estimated 876,340 rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault and simple assault victimizations at the hands of an intimate. Eighty-six percent of women have been victimized at least once before by an intimate partner or ex-partner. Twenty-five percent of women who seek medical care for any reason have been battered.These numbers are climbing, and, coming from a recovering abuse victim (as I do not believe one ever really recovers), this is not acceptable.

International Women's Week Interview - FixMeKnow
Can you tell me a bit about how you first became involved in photography?
It seems like I’ve been doing photography all my life. I had some cheap film camera as a kid and I would take rolls and rolls of pictures of friends and the dog. Really bad pictures I might add! But I got too impatient waiting for them to be developed, not to mention the cost of it, that I stopped taking photos for a while only to have a renewed interest once digital came along. With the instant results of digital I immediately know what worked and what didn't so I'm able to learn much quicker.
What do you think are the biggest issues for women in the world today?
Society seems to be splitting us into two groups. There are the girly-girls who they portray as all about hair, makeup, clothes and getting a man to pay for everything and then there are the ball busters who they portray as a bunch of angry men haters. You’re not allowed to be girly and strong at the same time.
Can you tell me a bit about the background to your 2 favorite deviations from your own gallery?
Faster, faster is my favorite piece mostly because it looked exactly like I wanted it to. There is still so much I have to learn about photography that they don’t always come out like I had intended. Plus I love those shoes.
Untitled 9 would be my other favorite. It just makes me feel pretty. The background and lights were left up from something else and I had a few moments of quiet time. Remembered the shirt, dug it out of the closet and snap off a couple of shots.
If you could photograph any event in history, what would it be?
When the Berlin Wall came down. I would have loved to have been there and taken photos. I think it would have been a blast!
Can you tell me of any other women on deviantART who you find inspiring?
That’s easy. `mnoo and ^tracie76. Though, I actually avoid their galleries as much as possible. I don’t want to copy what they’ve done but it’s hard when they have such great ideas and images!
What about outside deviantART, who do you think are good examples of role models for today's young women?
You could break out a list of names from Hillary Rodham Clinton to Geraldine Laybourne, but I think you’re better off looking at the people in your own life. From a grandmother to a teacher or someone else who you admire and can actually talk to and get advice from.
How do you think deviantART has benefited you as an artist?
There are people you get to know who will give you honest feed back on anything you do. What worked, what didn’t and what they think will make it better. So I keep trying to work on the things that need improvement and listen to people’s reactions and their advice.
What advice would you give someone thinking about taking up photography?
Go for it. What can it hurt? But be prepaired for all the critisism and don’t get upset when they don’t like what you’ve done. And don’t just brush them off. Just because they don’t agree with you doesn’t make them wrong.
Do you have a message that you'd leave for the future generations of women?
As corny as it sounds, just be yourself. And that’s not the easiest thing to do, either.
Wise words, and thank you so much for taking time out to participate!
