This is my grandmother.A portrait of her, while they are picking up mulberries. My grandma is the oldest member of the street after 'Bodo'. She does not like my photos I took her and I always think that she is still not ready to see herself, her senescence and wrinkles which are the marks of her pains in her face and hands. Two husbands who died before her and leave alone, that's why tears and smiles merge in her eyes always.

'Bodo'.She is the oldest living member of the street.She has lived alone during all her life, no marriage, no child. Nobody knows that she is a lunatic or normal, nobody knows how old she is. An interesting portrait of a woman who forgot his womanhood and stayed out of social life.

Last photo is a happier one from a winter day of Beybağı. At the window of my younger granduncle's house,at the left hand there is my mother,then reflection of my cousin, and at the right hand my grandaunt and the youngest member of our family, 'Yağmur'. A picture of from our visit with my mother and cousins, last year. Sitting next to window and watching the snow...Five generation of the family lived here and now the last one, 3-year-old Yağmur is enjoying the snow.
I wished to take happy photos in Beybağı during my all life.
