On commenting about my "On paint peeled off...01 (sampler)" work, dear ASalina have requested to see "at least 2x" larger resized crops, and here they come... When I was in my happier days of actively photographing and then practicing in the darkroom, I used to think about cropping smaller photos out of a master photo, and it theoretically occured to me that the possibilities were nearly endless even for a single particular image... ...And, it also occured to me that it was possible for me to spend a whole life dealing with only a single photo by way of deconstructing it, and then reconstructing when it is thought necessary... Such a process is easier to achieve in computer than in darkroom, and when one defines his/her frame, even a few pixels of movement on the master image towards any side seems to produce completely different visual info and stimuli......thus completely different images on their own... ...Or, at least, this is what I suppose... Yet, think of all the possibilities of further cropping the already cropped out images (creating 'sub-crops')... :-)

I love all of these images! The contrast and grain just appeals so much =) MORE!!!! lol keep em coming :)

you need to be committed man! On the upside, this is some great stuff. I could see some strange mosaic come out of these images.

LOL! Follow your passion Doruk! You are taking us along on a wonderful journey! :-)>

These are wonderful, they work really well at this scale. Long live the obsession!!

Awesome stuff, Dork! It's getting more and more interesting everytime...love the quality too. Really very good work! =)

Wow, I need to get back to this forum more often. i have been so buesy that I keep missing theese great projects. I think this is truly masterful work!!! i love the lighting, the saturation, the framing, the subject, the feeling, everything. I'm trying to be critical here and there really isn't much that i can be critical on. I would consider sending theese to either post card companies, or maybe a stock agency, I think there great. -Gabe-

I'm thankful for all your comments... :-) Dear Gabe, though I've thought of promoting my work commercially before, I never found the courage to do it... Maybe it's nothing to exaggerate in mind... ...Well, maybe... :-)

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I've been crazy busy. Fear is our greatest killer. The worst thing that can happen is that some one says no. The best thing is they say yes. We regularly hear the word no in normal conversation dozens of times a day, so what is there to fear. I say try it. I think your work is great, and would recomend a book called "Photographer's Market" There are hundreds of listings there for everything from Catalogues acd calenders, to Ad agencies. Pick up a copy, get a promo peace together ans send out a bunch. you never know what will come out of it, But nothing ever happens with out trying. -Gabe-

Go for it ; D
