Cagan Sekercioglu prepares to release a Red-backed Shrike after banding it, Aras, Turkey
Written on the back of this work is: “I find that intimacy comes from conversation, and on good days that may lead to an unexpected moment. After watching bears eat from garbage dumpsters and collecting wolf scat from the forest, I ended up at Çagan Sekercioglu's bird banding station in a village near the Armenian border. Çagan is an ornithologist and conservation biologist. The challenge was to make a portrait of him together with the tiny birds his team was banding—people and birds exist on different scales. At his suggestion, borne out of the time we spent together, I stood outside of his trailer while he released the tiny birds from inside.” — Carolyn Drake
