Sahintas is also aware of the dangers. “I always thought to myself: ‘I could die one day at the hands of someone I’m trying to save’. It would be tragi-comic, then, because the person you wanted to hear from could kill you. But like I said, I really wanted to do this. So I had no other option. You simply have to put your life on the line, and take a photo. That’s what I did. I’ve lived until now, and nothing has happened.” (Sevket Sahintas)
