jaapv Posted November 25, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 25, 2008 I agree, a bit voyeuristic, as street photography can be And guess what, Iranians are just ordinary people, like we are, no forked tails... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wls.shanghai Posted November 25, 2008 Share #9 Posted November 25, 2008 Alex - wonderful - superb series. your Titel: Iran is - not a rogue state - this is Bush-cligue talking only. Iran is a wonderful country with wonderful people. Teheran - Persepolis - Ghom - Täbris - Schrias - Isfahan etc. are great places.

osscat Posted November 26, 2008 Share #15 Posted November 26, 2008 Hi Trix Enjoyed the pictures of Iran - looked through other sets and spotted either a leaky camera back or over enthusiastic agitation during development.

thompsonkirk Posted November 26, 2008 Share #18 Posted November 26, 2008 Hi Alex - I enjoyed very one of these well-seen images! But I do have 2 favorites: the one vertical shot of strange architecture, neara the beginning; & the boys "Neaar Persepolis," It was al pleasure to view your work. Thank you, Kirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trix Posted November 26, 2008 Share #19 Posted November 26, 2008 @Pete: Yes, i am guilty. Absolutely no Leica-gear involved, i didn´t even think about L. during may stay . @osscat I am quite sure it is a developing problem. I have had films before and after this one without uneven development. Always thougt it was a lack of agitation :-) thanks again for your kind words Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speenth Posted November 26, 2008 Share #20 Posted November 26, 2008 Alex - wonderful - superb series. your Titel: Iran is - not a rogue state - this is Bush-cligue talking only. Iran is a wonderful country with wonderful people. Teheran - Persepolis - Ghom - Täbris - Schrias - Isfahan etc. are great places. Regards wls I wholeheartedly agree. I've visited Tehran three times since 2003. With successive visits the mood has darkened, the American-style malls, so filled with the burgeoning enthusiasm of youth in 2003, are quieter, downbeat places now. The Grand Mosque and its wonderful souk are as exciting as ever and breathe with the Iranian character. So too, the street markets and cafes, especially those built beside and over the streams pouring down the slopes of the great mountain behind Tehran. However, the people can no longer talk freely, though they're burning to do so. What hasn't changed a bit since 2003 is the dignity of these people and their gracious hospitality. Interestingly, even in these troubled times, I feel safer in the back streets of Tehran than I ever would in London or New York. I am a welcome guest. Iran is the land of great culture. Its intelligent, dignified people are ill-served by those who lead them and they've been most unjustly demonised by the current US Administration. I am hoping for better times soon, inside Iran and beyond. I love Alex's images - he's captured the particular qualities of Iran. They're clearly of Iran and could be from nowhere else. For me, they send a message from the Iranian people; "This is us. Now please let us be". Its a message for their own leaders as much as it is for those of the West determined to impose 'freedom'.
