Walking the ancient lanes of Antalya, Turkey, colors and aromas assail your senses. The streets are busy with merchants, tourists, and of course artists. Şengül Korkmaz, the artisan pictured here, deftly crafts glass rods into figurines and jewelry. Her pleasant demeanor and ready smile reflect her pleasure in her work. We did not converse much, but she gave a clear sense of pride in her art and her place. Thanks to her for adding depth to our visit to this wonderful city.
