EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, an old man with a weary expression stands in a narrow, sun-scorched back street of Avanos, a quaint town nestled in the Nevsehir Province of Turkey's Central Anatolia region. The year is 1985, and the man's worn and threadbare clothes, held up by a makeshift string belt, speak of a life lived in humble simplicity. His donkey, equally bedraggled, stands beside him, its ears drooping in apparent misery, its back bearing the weight of the heavy burden it carries. The sun casts long shadows across the uneven cobblestones, adding to the sense of timelessness and isolation. The man's gaze is fixed on the ground, his face etched with lines of age and hardship, as he waits for an uncertain future. The photograph captures a poignant moment in the daily life of this unassuming town in the heart of Anatolia, a region known for its rich history and rugged terrain. The image transports us back to the 1980s, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of existence were cherished. This powerful photograph is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's resilience and the enduring connection between man and animal.
