Faces in Iran


This is a long telephoto shot...Nadia was waiting for us while we were in a garden. Richard took it and I love the scene he caught: the young, hip Iranian girl with her phone and her hair showing (God forbid) and her casual seat (Nadia loved to perch on window sills or relax on the floor) scrolling through her mail, contrasted with the woman in her traditional garb.

Woman selling incense which wards off the evil eye.

Shopper bazaar Tehran - about 100 degrees

Shopper with beautiful scarf. 

Sometimes faces weren't easy to see.

I liked her red high heel, which I bet she kicks up once she gets rid of the chador.

  1. I like the girl with the Pearl pose. Interesting photos. I can't imagine being so covered up in hot temperatures.
