Though I have seen him quoted as saying he's not a photojournalist or artist -- he's an historian with a camera -- Ara Guler is arguably the greatest photojournalist of the 20th century.
And he continue to document his beloved Istanbul, well into the 21st century, well into his 80s.
When I found out there's a book on him, I couldn't want to order it.
Amazon screwed up the first delivery. Hoping the second order arrives before the weekend.
Here's a mini blurb on the book:
Photojournalist, a book by Nezih Tavlas, provides a compelling and in-depth look into the life of Ara Guler who is regarded as one of the most accomplished documentary photographers of the 20th century and the pioneer of photojournalism in Turkey.
