The story of a box of glass negative found in an antique shop is presented in this series of photographs. These found glass negatives were printed with the cyanotype technique. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, it is seen that some glass negatives were printed with the cyanotype technique because they were cheaper. These cyanotype prints are found on many family albums. Today, many museums add these family photographs printed with the Cyanotype technique to their collections and hold exhibitions with these photographs. In this series, a reference is made to those photographs. The photographs host us to the intimate world of a young amateur female photographer. The portraits taken by the young woman in the garden of her house and in front of her door convey the sincerity of an amateur photographer. Three self-portraits she took from a mirror in her home remind us that taking photos is a timeless request. The cameras and technological features changes, but the desire to photograph our loved ones and ourselves has always existed since the days when photography was discovered. This box of photographs reminds us that constant reason for the ritual of photographing and taking photographs: to hide ourselves and those closest to us and get rid of the destructive effects of time.
