Hi e-mail netters...

DISCOVER TURKEY - THE UNDISCOVERED EUROPE
BY MARY ALTEER
As exotic and exciting as a trip to TURKEY sounds, I was
delighted to learn firsthand how easy and comfortable it
also was. The Turkish people are some of the friendliest
people I have encountered in my 20 years of traveling and
photographing in the world's more remote regions. On my
first day in Istanbul I was having trouble figuring out how
to buy a ticket and take the bus to Topkapi Saray palace. A
distinguished gentleman came up to me and asked, in perfect
English, if he could help me. When I told him my dilemma, he
took me to the kiosk wherethey sold tickets, helped me
purchase a ticket, waited for the appropriate bus, and even
made sure the driver would tell me when I had arrived at my
destination.
Unlike many countries I have visited, while photographing
in Turkey, I had the unlikely problem of more models than I
wanted. Just seeing a western woman with two visible cameras
seemed to bring out the need to pose, especially in the
Turkish men. Unlike many Muslim countries, it is also
possible (and culturally acceptable) to photograph the
women. One day a woman friend and I had rented bicycles to
visit an anchient archaelogical site. A woman who lived
nearby invited us into her home for tea. Although we had no
language in common, we managed to spend a lovely afternoon
in the simple but comfortable dwelling.
Although the ease with which you can photograph people is
one of the best reasons to visit Turkey, there are many
others, including the landscape, cul_ ture and rich
archeological history.
The surreal landscape of Cappadocia made it one of the
most unusual and distinctive spots I have ever visited. This
region, between Ankara and Malatya and the Black sea and the
Taurus Mountains, is known formations made from an eroded
volcanic stone called tufa. Some of these formations are
called fairy chimneys; they stand upright within the
moonlike landscape making for an other-worldly panaroma.
Today, the region is one big open-air museum. For the
photographer, there is a never-ending supply of material,
all of which is outdoors in the brilliant Turkish sun. The
startling shapes of the fairy chimneys, the hand painting of
the inside of the cave churches, and the repeated vertical
motifs of the valley, which turn pink at sunset, make the
area a joy for the photographer who welcomes the unusual
landscape.
Other types of Turkish terrain include some of the most
beautiful beaches and lakes I have ever found within one
country. My tour of Mediterranean Turkey began to the south
at Kas, a small picturesque fishing village on a cozy little
harbor. From this harbor local boatmen will take the tourist
on excursions ehere the photographic possibilities include
ruin sites, caves castles and islands.
While there are many villages and towns on the
Mediterranean coast, I found the town of the Datca
particularly photogenic. It is on a finger of land which
goes westward from Marmaris 100 kilometers to the edge of
the Aegean Sea. The drive takes you through pine-forested
mountains until you finally arrive at this pleasant village
nestled at the end of a small bay.
Modern Turkey is intruguing to photographers. Istanbul,
which has a history that goes back 7000 years is also a
modern city with its own special energy. Everywhere you turn
while wandering about the streets offers photographers
colorful markets and vistas of everyday Muslim life. The
setting of Istanbul is as spectatular as any city I have
visited. The famous mosques of Sancta Sofia, the

merhaba
$u TURKIYE lafini birakipta yine ingilizcede oldugu uzere TURKEY
olarak yazsaniz cok iyi olacak.
insanlari tanitan isimleri degil...kisiliklerinin belleklerde biraktigi
imajdir. siz ulkenin adini ister turkiye ister turkey ister habe$istan
koyun...dunya insanlarinin aklina gelen nedir o onemli ...
ulkemiz konusunda kafasi zaten karisik olan yabancilarin aklini birde
isim degisikligi ile karistirmayalim.
ayrica bu kampanyayi baslatan ANAP milletivekili tinaz titiz de kam-
panya'nin 'basarisiz' oldugunu ve iptal ettiklerini bir kac sene
once ilan etmislerdi.
buradan hareketle, TURKEY ile ilanlarinizi yapmanizi diler. calisma-
larinizin devamini dilerim.

not: isim degisikligi ile uluslararasi camiada hakkimizda var olan
imaji degistirebilecegimize inanmak en iyi olasilikla 'hayalcilik'
olur.

Merhaba Kubilay
Turkiye/Turkey ile ilgili onerini okudum. Yabancilarin on yargilarini
dusunerek sadece Turkiye'yi koymadim. Malesef yabancilar "discover
Turkey " basligini gorduklerinde bunun bir ulke ile ilgili olup
olmadigini belirtmek gerekir. Kanimca bir bilinmeyeni yani a$ina olunmayan
bir kelimeyi (Turkiye'yi) gorduklerinde en azindan ilgilerini cekmek
acisindan bilerek koydum.
Diger bir konu da hazir boyle computer imkani varken, en azindan belirli
bir kesime bu kelimeyi a$ina etmek gerekir. Yavas yavas Turkiye'yi
kabul ettirebiliriz. Sadece biraz zorlamak gerekir. Sozlu ingilizcede
Turkey'i kullaniyoruz dedigin nedenlerden dolayi. Ancak computer
iyi bir arac, Turkiye'yi yaymak icin. Cinliler'in amerikalilara
Pekin'i Beijing diye kabul ettirmeli zamanla olmustur. Neden
biz Turkiye yi kabul ettirmeyelim. Amerika butun yabanci kelimeleri
telafuzuyla beraber almisken neden Turkiye de olmassin.
