Grand Prize

The GRAND PRIZE in the SU Scholarship Fund Sweepstakes is a vintage Nikon F80 camera

owned by our professor İlker Birbil, and a framed photo he took with this camera

The Story of the Grand Prize

"I was fresh out of my PhD. Finally, I was no longer a student and was ready to begin my academic career. I felt I was too late to see the world. I was looking for ways to work with people I met so I could see the places they lived. I was determined to record each and every foray. That is what this camera and the photo date back to.

I can say that I learned how to shoot a photo with this camera. Wait for the right light, snap the shot, turn it in for development, and wait...  I think this camera also taught me patience. Then, it came to Sabancı University with me. It was once again covering my back as I felt that I was starting over. I'm sure it will be a loyal friend to its new owner."
