Kars, Eastern Anatolia, Turkey · 2017
Older Than the Town
There is a church behind him that has been standing in Kars for something like a thousand years.
This story imagines, it does not document. It is what the photograph made me feel.
I got down low in the snow so the stone would climb up out of his shoulders, because that was the picture I wanted: a man and the old wall, both still here. He watched me crouch and didn't ask what I was doing. People here don't waste many words on a stranger with a camera. The light was almost gone, that cold blue you get just before dark, and his face had the same weather in it as the building behind him.
