"Market Day" Ankara,Turkey

This was taken during a working trip to Turkey in 2004. It's the first

in a series of photos taken without any 'automation' or elaborate

lenses. I had recently sold off all of my camera equipment, reserving

only an older Nikon FE2 and a 50mm1.4 lens. I've recently picked up

the camera again and I'm excited about getting back to making pictures

using only the basics - no digital, no extensive lens collection, etc.

I think I found a little 'purity' in losing the high-tech gear and

getting the cameras out of the way of the pictures. All comments -

good and bad - are welcome.
