Ankara, Turkey

listen to damon albarn

Mobile melody of The street, is what I call it. Street musicians give the people a sense of emotion with their music. They accompany the voices in the streets, and set the chaos to a musical mix and rhythm. This is their life, they deserve to be respected.

I’m an emergency medicine doctor and photographer, often shooting the streets of Ankara, Turkey. I used my iPhone5 and Hipstamatic - specifically Blanko C16 film and John S Lens for this project. I tried to focus on the attitudes of these musicians, especially in front of the wealth that passes them or as their backdrop.
