I took a trip downtown Los Angeles to Broadway St. to take some photos. I like the photos that I got. I think that a lot of them have many stories to tell. Hope that you enjoy them. More at saidkhorramshahgolbwphotography.wordpress.com.

Poverty is a transparent concept, and it can be easily visualized (i.e. physical and mental healthcare, clothing and “basic” education). 

The poverty that hides behind our perception is debatable.  When I snapshot I usually comprehend based on what I observe rather than what is hidden behind.  That would be an undergraduate project to convey imagination.

 The poverty lies in the ill-conceived snapshots and below average execution, not in the subject matter.

Nothing different

by comments on

I really don’t find LA different and I don’t want to live there.  I like cities that look like “KHAREJ!” with tall buildings, skyscrapers, and a fair combination/selection of people.  New York City is my dream destination, but unfortunately, I have always had job opportunities all over the US/Canada except New York City.

I think these photos mainly show poverty that it can be easily found everywhere.  I like to see photos of those Americans who are not portrayed as poor.  Those photos become different.

A down to earth reflection of the prosperous "Sane World" dramas!!!

PS: Unlike many many Iranian regime's pictures postings here under the fake title of "My Recent Visit to Iran!"

Feels like the people, the individuals in these pictures have been juiced and drained by... civilization, technology, poverty?

Great work.
