Nice

Very expressive pictures. I think I smelled the distinct smell of Spring when I saw #23 and heard the children's laughter in #5. You have a great eye. I only wish you would go easier on the Photoshop. You don't need it. Use it as a tool you control. Don't let it control you. #20 and #29 for example are too much. Don't over saturate your photos. Don't allow your work to become tacky. Best of luck and happy shooting.

Pics 17,18, 19 from Shaamloo's grave, keep in mind that

by Hoshang Targol on Thu Sep 02, 2010 08:00 AM PDT

Hezbollah thugs have attacked his grave practically every single year, since his transition. They still have a hard time with him, even now.

Have a feeling Shaamloo is going to be around  a very long time after all these murderers are gone and done with.

The camera? Right camera!

by pharyd on Thu Sep 02, 2010 03:26 AM PDT

The camera is not as important as the photografer. A guitar is not as important as the one who plays on it!

But my guess is a Nikon :)
