Photography

As soon as Cem got his first camera, he started taking night shots. When he realized that he could make things that are invisible to the human eye visible through the camera, he became addicted to it. He has been capturing the beauties of the night sky with his camera ever since. He takes so much pleasure from being in the solitude under the stars at night that he doesn’t realize how time flies.
