This month I want to write about a man named Yuksel, or Americalư, as
he is known by many in his neighborhood. My meeting him is one of
the clearest examples of kismet I've ever experienced. Here is how
it happened . . .
October came and went and I was busy working on several projects, one
of them being a short film we were doing the shooting for. (The
film, by the way, is called The Dream of Istanbul, and we are editing
it now. We hope to have it available at Les Arts Turcs Gallery (1)
in December, just in time for all the holidays. Stay tuned.)
Anyway, I mentioned to my Significant Other that I wasn't sure what I
would write about for November and he said that he had met a very
interesting guy and that I should go find him and write about him.

GYPSIES IN ISTANBUL , TURKEY
The marginal has always held an attraction for me, partly because I
love discovering things that are little known, and partly because
things that are on the margin, that are in between, have a very
particular kind of energy. (1) In any case, this month I've decided
to write about the Gypsies, a group that has lived on the margins for
as long as anyone can remember.
The correct name for Gypsy (Turkish: çingene) is Rom. The Roma have
always been a people apart, with their own values, traditions,
heritage, language and music. Throughout history, the Gypsies have
been referred to by many names—in Byzantine poetry, for example, they
were referred to as Egyptian, but their precise origins are lost in
antiquity.Read more.....
