Slowly though, his interest in photography segued into a love for the instruments that take the photographs. By 1970, Nakipoğlu had become a camera lover and collector. “Over the years, I began building my collection by buying cameras. Especially during weekends. Sometimes even two or three. Wherever there was a camera sale, I was there. I knew a number of dealers in second-hand goods. When they got hold of a new instrument, they would call me right away. Now, I have accumulated around 1,000 cameras, and continue to collect,” adds Nakipoğlu.
