Thank you for sharing such wonderful images.

I have to agree with Ari #32 is definitely one for the exhibitions and your Magnum shot, but they are all great.

Sid joon, it worked!!!!

I had a margarita last night and the pictures were in sharp focus! :)

Agha damet garm. I looked the pictures over again and I love them even more on the second pass!

Farhad jan,

Do what I do, have a margarita and everything will be in focus :-)

Wonderful pictures

These are great photographs. And judging by the last few photos in the series, you haven't gone digital yet and are still using 35 mm film+development. That's great. Nothing like old school; though you're probably one of the last few! :)

The only improvement idea is the focus on some pictures. If you are scanning these from printed pictures, that explains the texture of your photos and some of them appearing to be out of focus. In that case, the orginal printed pictures may not have the slight focus problem I see on some.

Wonderful

One of the best photo essays I've ever seen. So rich and so revealing.

Tea Balaye me sar / Azam Laacu!

I do print proofs.  This allows me to make a cocktail or two and play with them on my dinning room table.  It sometimes takes me a month to put together an essay.  The process is sometimes more interesting than the results.  One of my pleasures in life.  As far as a coffee table book, I would like to print one.  I have had a few conversations with publishers, but nothing I was happy with.  Perhaps this could be a good retirement project. 

Substance!!

Thanks for sharing. Reminds of my "Gardesheh Elmi" trips... I bet with just a little subtle clean up and landscaping we actually have our very own tuscany or niese tucked within Gilan and Mazandaran.

#32

Fantastic!!

Sid this is really, really great and you beautifuly captured Shomal. I am from these areas and could smell the air from your pictures. You get a 20 out of 20! Heck I'd even throw in some extra points!

Did you print all these pictures, do you keep them in albums? I think they are good enough for a coffee table book. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sid.  I really

Thank you Sid.  I really enjoyed these pictures.  I was born in Rasht and can't wait to someday take my family back for a visit.

Memories

Thank you for sharring your pictures.

Pictures you took brought back so many memories from time my family spent every Summer and Norouz in Mazandaran and Gilan. I feel sad that my kids won't be able to experience what I experienced.
