A City on Earth

Today, I want to talk about one particular Emre. He’s Emre Doğru to you – the talented Mr. Photographer. To me, he’s a little bit more than that.  A good and funny friend who thinks a slice of bread is a useful tool while eating food… Let me explain that: Emre loves eating bread (what am I saying, he loves eating whatever is edible) and we try to avoid him whenever we can so that he doesn’t gain any more weight. But he has his own excuses as usual, and says God gave us the bread as a medium to push the food on a plate towards the fork. I once suggested him to try the knife instead and he was not very happy. I love Emre and the way his mind works. It is generally under the influence of his big and loving heart, and that is enough to make him a special person. I don’t exactly know why but I’ve been thinking about Emre a lot this morning and when I found myself in front of my computer, I felt the need to visit his website emredogru.com. I have totally forgotten that I’d written the words for his info text.

The above image of a far-away Emre, me and Seyhan was taken at 20ML’s New Year’s dinner back in 2007. I’m afraid that’s the most recent photo of us (not necessarily Seyhan, but Emre & I) together. How sad… Emre, where art thou? It’s been ages. If I bump into you somewhere, I think I have the right to ask “Emre, right?”
