Hundreds of people migrate from the eastern parts of Turkey and settle in Eminönü, hoping to find a job in İstanbul. Small rooms in apartment blocks are rented out, housing at least ten people. These apartments lack kitchens and bathrooms; so meals are cooked and baths are taken in that single room These migrants generally work as construction laborers, shoe painters, street peddlers, waste paper or scrap collectors. Only a few lucky ones manage to find a good job good enough to bring their families to Istanbul.]]></description>

The house where she grew up and the people who are part of that life serve as characters. The word "Family" connects us, but the extent of our connection depends on several factors. Families can be separated by physical distance, but often it is more complicated and the relationships themselves form walls and separations. "Si Dios Quiere" which means "If God Wants," attests to the fact that relationships are inherently difficult.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dina Litovsky: For the last few years I have been photographing the New York City nightlife in it's different incarnations- clubs, lounges and bars, private and public parties. Over this period of time I have observed the focus of many of the events shift from partying to photographing the partying. In the digital age, social networks provide a virtual stage to showcase everything - and anything. Society's quickly shifting notion of privacy is central to this project. Cameras, ever more compact and omnipresent, are increasingly admitted into heretofore 'private' realms: late-night dance halls, erotic events, even in the bedroom.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mattias Ericsson: I carry my camera with me every day. My photography is based on continuity and routines. I shoot things that I intuitively feel are relevant. Sometimes I press the shutter button to capture a fleeting memory or feeling. I take the picture because I don’t want to forget what I was feeling at that moment. The picture acts as an interface to a moment that otherwise would merely become a part of the collection of events that form a lifetime. The image places the memory in a chronology that otherwise would be lost. I have been photographing my surroundings and myself regularly for almost nine years. And I have been asking myself for just as long. What difference does it make if I take another picture of my own face, or that of my girlfriend Åsa? What does this constant photography give in return?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love this series of jumping pictures. Iraq is associated with the misery of war most of the time, especially in media representations. Jamal Penjweny reminds us there are normal people that are trying to live normal lifes down there too. Apart from that, the work shows a great sense of humor. At the end of his artist testimonial, Jamal makes the jumping business sound like a lost dream. But I think the work itself proves him wrong in that respect. The fact that he made this beautiful set of photographs means he still wants to fly by making the highest jump possible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It hasn’t been so long since Kabul was considered an open-minded metropolis. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Afghan capital was a popular stop on the hippie trail to southern Asia. Now, after thirty years of occupation and war, Afghanistan is struggling to reestablish its identity. Residents are pessimistic about the future. Rebuilding the city drags on, and the constant fear of new attacks has shaken people’s trust in NATO forces. "Crossing Kabul" is a portrait of today’s Kabul where, far from the fighting, normality is slow to return. German photographer Daniel Pilar focuses on everyday situations caught between tradition, Western influence and social progress.]]></description>
