Sometime in August 2007,
Los Angeles based Turkish photographer
Serdar Sunny Unal was hit by his mid-life crisis and was forced to urgently seek a remedy. Although some allege that the whole thing is just an excuse to hit the road again, his history of similar "remedies" is not sufficient proof of any wrongdoing. Thus, until further evidence proves otherwise, it's fair to regard his genuinely crazy plan as justified and reasonable.
Once past the questions of why, how, and huh, "Project LA2BA" is simply fascinating. It's a one man expedition covering over 16,000 miles through 12 countries, providing a vast supply of exceptional photographic opportunities and a rare chance to meet the contrasting cultures of an entire continent. For that reason, this site will bring the adventure to you as it unfolds, and may even offer answers to some of those questions.
On December 14, 2007, Serdar and his (hopefully) faithful steed Katirga, left Los Angeles for their five month trip to Ushuaia at the tip of South America, then up to Buenos Aires. If you care to read how things are working out, you can do so by clicking at your own risk. Do we need to also say that his views and expressions do not reflect that of any of his sponsors etc.?
