This photo has taken in my family's hometown Gürün as a part of series i produced for my graduation project. Turgut Yalçın is a 85 years old retired barber and folk poet, familiar face for locals in in town related to his eccentric character. He writes poems about his personal life,love for his homeland, politics, and various other subjects. His poems are satirical, allegorical, and above all funny, reflecting every kind of emotion as it is expected from a folk poet. After i asked him, if he would like to be a part of this project, he chose for to place where he feels more belonged to. And that was spring of a beautiful lake.
