I traveled to Turkey in 2007 and 2008, living in Ankara for an extended period and making several excursions across Asia Minor. The personalities, cities, and terrain of this proud nation left me with a renewed respect for tradition despite today's changing political landscapes. I witnessed both pious and secular daily rituals, traveled time-tested roads and waters, and took shelter in the walls of three empires. Geographically, politcally, religiously, and economically, Turkey is a place of transition. My photographic notes of this ancient and often renamed country quickly became an investigation of daily life in a borderland.
