We were vacationing in Iran and there were these mausoleums and tombs in tribute to great poets, architecture reminiscent of old Islam and gorgeous tiles and organic paintings on the walls. This shot was almost unintentional, I noticed the light and the shadows and just took the shot, this one shot. I didn’t even look at it on the digital screen of my camera, there was so much beauty around me I didn’t want to waste time, I didn’t want to miss anything. I didn’t see this shot again till I uploaded the pictures onto my laptop. This picture is a reminder of the beauty of Iran.

This shirt is made in honor of very young girl name Neda, that dies yesterday in Tehran! She was hit wit 3 bullets that exploded in her heart and she was dead very very shortly after. My heart and soul is with her family! Her name Neda means ‘divine voice’ in Farsi language, and people are going trough the streets of Tehran and saying “I am Neda!” / And I am not taking any % of selling this shirt, you know how you can mark up % for sale, I put $0, I do not need any money from this, you are paying only that RB make this shirt for you and send you. They call her Neda, which means ‘voice’ in Farsi, and her death has become the central rallying cry of the Iranian rebellion. The pretty teenage girl killed by what appears to be a single sniper shot on the streets of Tehran Saturday is now a potent symbol for pro-democracy protesters battering the Islamic regime. Her quick and brutal death in the arms of her howling father was captured on close-up video, posted to Facebook and sent to computer screens across the world. “Neda you broke my heart, too young to die,” was one of a flood of messages on Twitter. “RIP Neda, the world cries seeing your last breath,” read another. “Neda is everyone’s sister, everyone’s daughter, everyone’s voice for freedom,” said a third. Iconic posters of her dead face, open-eyed and bloody, were carried by demonstrators in Los Angeles and New York City within hours. The graphic video was originally posted to Facebook by an Iranian expatriate in Holland who said it was sent to him by a friend in Tehran, a doctor who tried to save the girl. The expat said her name was Neda Soltani, a 26-year-old philosophy student. The outpouring of messages on Twitter included a new account dedicated solely to insisting the video was fake. That poster was roundly shouted down as a tool of the Iranian regime. One of the many other videos of the Tehran protests uploaded to You Tube captured Neda in the last moments of her life, standing on a curb with her silver-haired father, simply watching the protesters go by. Neda’s martyrdom has the potential to be a galvanizing event. Because Iranian Muslims mourn their dead in ritual cycles, the killings of protesters during the 1979 revolution became a powerful engine to keep the protests going. Vast demonstrations of mourning were broken up by killings that generated more and bigger marches. There were conflicting reports from Iran this evening: some said her funeral would be held Monday afternoon, others claimed the government had banned all mosques from holding her funeral. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/us_world/2009/06/21/2009-06-21_neda_young_girl_killed_in_iraq.html#ixzz0J7WzV5Lp&D A spokesman for Iran’s powerful Guardian Council has said there was no fraud in the election, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was clearly re-elected. However, opposition supporters have said they will continue their protests. They plan to release thousands of balloons emblazoned with the name ‘Neda’. Neda Agha-Soltan has become a martyr figure since she was shot dead at a protest earlier in the week. The Iranian security forces have not admitted responsibility for her death, which was captured on film. Dr Arash Hejazi, who is studying at a university in the south of England, told the BBC’s Rachel Harvey that he ran to Neda Agha-Soltan’s aid after seeing she had been shot in the chest.

Islamic art, typically, though not entirely focuses on the depiction of patterns and Arabic calligraphy. If you have ever seen Arabid calligraphy you could see that it manages to be both structured as well as organic at the same time. Similar are so many Islamic pattern, they have a strong geometrical sense but still posses great fluidity. This picture is an example of such, it is a hand painted Islamic pattern on the wall of a mosque in Yazd, Iran. The rich colors and the flowing lines are a wonder to see.
My photography class was on a class trip to Iran, we were a bus full of photography students traveling from Tehran to Sheeraz and the sun is setting surrounded by these gorgeous clouds. We convinced the driver to stop at the side of the road as we all piled out of the bus camera’s in hand. If only someone had thought of getting a shot of twenty something twenty years olds standing at the side of the road shooting the sunset.

(If you are interested in buying in bulk, i.e. 20 or more, please contact me and I’ll drop the price for you.) I have been following the Iranian elections for a while now. After the “winner” was declared, I really got into it. This man claims to have won by a landslide, even in his opponent’s hometown. Corrupt? I think so. After the results were announced, supporters of Moussavi (the opponent) began to protest, as they too thought something was fishy. Protesting led to rioting, which lead to police, military, and paramilitary forces killing seven people and wounding many others. These others are now living in fear. The government has raided schools. They are tracking Iranians on the internet, trying to shut down the internet, and are kicking all foreign media out of the country. Twitter.com has exploded with this. Iranians are sneaking on to send news and photos. People around the world are changing their location to Tehran to confuse the Iranian government that is searching for Iranian bloggers. They are setting up proxies. They are sharing news. They are giving support and advice. It is amazing what people will do for each other. Sadly, it seems that most people and much of the media doesn’t care. Media groups are focusing more on the Letterman joke than on the people murdered. People in the younger generations are getting nothing. I had someone ask me if Tehran was a person or a place; that’s how bad it is. So imagine if you show up to class, or coffee, or work, sporting this. People will ask. And you can tell. Keep Iran Free.
