IRAN

Nice, but

some of these pictures might as well beenhave been taken thousands of years ago given the primivitive nature of life....and you wouldn't know it.

3rd largest oil producer, a self proclaimed military power (LOL) and above all after 32 years of divine rule, this is the condition of life for the masses?

IRAN FIRST

Nature is beautiful

But people's way of life is soooo primitive. Shame on every single Iranian. 

Picture 5 is a shocking example of how

out of date the agricultural technology is. You cannot feed a nation of 80,000,000 when  plowing the ground with bulls.

بسیار زیبا

دستتون درد نکنه . عجب عکسها و چشم اندازهای زیبایی

امیدوارم کارهای بیشتری از شما ببینیم

we just have to agree to disagree

You are right - by “their pictures” I did not mean to refer to the photographer but the pictures themselves. Different people with different background have a different definitions of poverty -

I Was Not!

I Was Not talking about the photographer and you damn well know it! I was referring to the comment that says: "I can tell you this is not poverty!" If this is not poverty, then what is poverty then?

BEAUTIFUL!

Not only the photos, but very obviously, the mind behind the camera, which moves to capture in order to share its relationships.  The photos could easily hang in a gallery and quite a few blurr the line of Fine Art.

Please, promise, never stop taking pictures and

thank you.

Poverty Of Mind!

Poverty Of Mind is even worse than physical poverty!

Nice Job!

As someone who have visited and spend time in similar villages in (north) of Iran (Mazandaran/savad-khoh) I can tell you that this is not poverty – simple yes but not poor Beautiful Pictures – I sure can see myself spending some times there

Very nice pictures!

Everything is sacred

It Is Sad To Learn!

It Is Sad To Learn, Dear Dena, that poverty has yet to emigrate from the villages of Iran.

Posters

I can imagine your photographs as large posters, framed or pinned to the wall, magnifying their beauty. My favorites are 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, 28, 30, 33 and 34.

I hope you will share more of your photo essays.

I feel that all the villages are frozen in time! Thank you for sharing!
