LANCE RAMOTH
The Beginning
Welcome to the inaugural issue of Fotoblur Maga-
zine. The images you are about to enjoy have been
submitted and selected by members of the web-
based photo community Fotoblur (fotoblur.com).
For many years photographers have enjoyed the
ability to display and share their work over the
web. This capability has brought about a move-
ment in photographic arts which has never been
seen before. Even with such innovations in photo
sharing, talented photographers sometimes find
it difficult to get noticed in massive online photo
galleries. Fotoblur Magazine aims to provide a
platform for promoting such artists in hopes they
may find a broader audience.
For this inaugural issue I have the honor of pre-
senting the fine photography of Alper Çukur. His
work epitomizes this new movement in photog-
raphy with images that transcend space and time,
recorded in ways our eyes can not see, evoking
deep emotion.
This issue would also not be possible without the
amazing work from the great people at Foto-
blur. Our title is “The Beginning,” as we hope to
continue creating Fotoblur Magazine quarterly. If
your images are unique we would love to see them.

ALPER ÇUKUR
In my opinion, photography is not about
creating a copy of the world as you see it
through your eyes. I always try to involve
my emotions, and allow my creative vision
to create aesthetically pleasing images.

- ALPER ÇUKUR

Alper Çukur is a practicing ophthalmologist living near Istanbul Turkey with

his wife and three children. The images presented here were taken in 2008
in Istanbul, Kocaeli and Bursa.

His work can be viewed online at fotoblur.com/people/acukor. He can be

reached by e-mail at alpercukur@yahoo.com.
