I am here to learn, i am here to teach (as well as i can), i am here to see more and more, the most important one i am here to enjoy. Here is my story:

I was born in 1983 - in Taskopru/Kastamonu/Turkey, a very small town in North Anatolia. I lived in this town about fifteen years and my interest with the photography started in this town. Because the nature of North Anatolia was "must be photographed"; and becuase I felt in love with a daughter of a photographer;). So I had to do something to be with her. Then I became an amateur photographer. (Pentax years).

When I was sixteen years old, my family moved to Istanbul, the big city. In the first a few years in Istanbul, I couldn't take too much photographs. But after I started to go to University I had too much time to take photographs. I first met with digital photography with a Fuji S7000 meanwhile. My friendship with this camera didn't last long, I sold it and bought a real camera, a D-SLR, Canon 350D.

Now I work as an accountant with an Accounting Company professionaly. I mostly take photographs of the big city and try to enjoy the life.

P.S.: My account name "Defender" comes from the Manowar song which was narrated by Orson Welles. No offence!
