Father & Son, Eyüp Sultan Turbesi, Istanbul                                        2004


(photograph available)

The crowd of pilgrims at the Tomb of  Eyüp Sultan, near the head of Istanbul's Golden Horn, were shoulder-to-shoulder as they worked their way to the inner sanctum's entryway where they could see the  casket.  Slightly to the side of this crush of reverence, sat a father in motionless in prayer with his son.
