The Journey Begins

Author: filiz2018

Born and raised in Istanbul. French college. Studied filmmaking and worked in related domains for some time. Lived in France and mostly in Paris and Rennes in 2000s. Fell in love in Paris, moved back to Istanbul with lover, had a baby boy. Couldn't resist, moved to Izmir just because we love Ege, then moved to London where I get my second baby. So this world-citizen nomad-kind of family life can break some hearts and kill some archives. Mostly in winter. Another theme would be personal music archiving for future generations. When I was a kid, you just watched movies and that was it. Nothing visual could be recorded except photos and family videos with weird cameras in daddies hands. My music was archived in cassettes then in CDs, then on my mp3 player, then on HDDs. Now it's everywhere with me, on cloud; Spotify, or Itunes. But these are companies. Servers are thousands of miles away from me. They can die one day. All though CDs and cassettes die too. So let's just not forget the names. After all, it's all about names. I ended up by making an old school but cool photo album for visual memory. If not I have +100k pictures on iCloud. and music albums, somewhere in HDDs. Needed curation. And simplification. For every aspect of life. Hence the blog. Looking forward to archive stories and works of beautiful people of the planet earth. View all posts by filiz2018
