IRAN
Daily business
by benbagheri02-Jan-2008
These pictures are a selected set from my December 2007 visit to Iran. Although it was quite cold for most of my 2-week stay, an overnight rain shower, followed by 4 inches of snow managed to clear the polluted air for a few days! People went about their daily business and the biggest topic of discussion was the rampant inflation and the ever-increasing price of food and basic needs as well as the difficulties with getting enough gasoline!

Tehran
by FP (not verified) on Wed Jan 02, 2008 08:31 PM PSTLike some big cities in the third world the zoom out look great, mountains, snow scenery. But the close up reveal, chaos,pollution, and loitering or hard labour for basic survival.
thanks
for the photos
Thank you.
by Rosie T. on Wed Jan 02, 2008 06:36 PM PSTI like them very much.
Thank you Ben! Your

Your pictures are much more interesting than many articles and the follow-on comments posted on this site. And, don't worry about the critical remarks. There are always some nagging voices no matter what. Just ignore them!
Photos!
by Naazokbin (not verified) on Wed Jan 02, 2008 12:00 PM PSTDear Ben,
We liked the pictures of the food. Oh, and the old guy in the tea house holding all those tea cups(estekan) in one hand.
Your response was very nice and polite.
To Ben Bagheri...........
by Anonymous22222222222 (not verified) on Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:50 AM PSTI like the pictures you took........Thank you..
And those who have problems with it. Simple solution.
DON'T LOOK AT THEM.
Again Thanks Ben.
Correction & clarification!
by Ben Bagheri (not verified) on Wed Jan 02, 2008 10:44 AM PST1) These pictures are by Ben Bagheri (me) not Ben Madadi!
2) I'm not Jewish, but even if I were, that would be okay, too! I'm not sure what being Jewish or not has to do with anything here?!!
3) I agree that other provinces and cities in Iran offer great views to photograph! But since I ddn't go outside Tehran, you only see pictures of Tehran in this set!
And finally, those of you who have a problem with the things I photograph, there is a very simple solution for that! Why don't you go take your own photographs and we'll all enjoy your point of view!
Cheers!

Why always Tehran?
by Daryush on Wed Jan 02, 2008 09:12 AM PSTI love to learn more about Kurdestan. Or even Sistan va Baluchestan. Would be nice for Iranians to educate the rest about the unseen and unknown part. Tehran is nothing especial. And if you wish to picture Tehran, why did you choose such images? Come on, you can do better than that.

by Prince Kafka (not verified) on Wed Jan 02, 2008 08:13 AM PSThow come no one takes pictures of down town Tabriz or Kermanshah and other beautiful cities? We are sick of seeing these depressing pictures of skyscrapers from the filty Tehran.
Need a fresh air..........

by Ben Madadi on Wed Jan 02, 2008 06:28 AM PSTWhoever took, or sent, these pictures did a good job. Thanks for sharing them with us, but it wasn't me. Maybe JJ could fix it :)

by Anonymous Iranian (not verified) on Wed Jan 02, 2008 05:43 AM PSTi know you probably thought to yourself, these are some nice shots. but seriously, do us all a favor and just stop taking pictures.
Priceless
by Nader Vanaki (not verified) on Wed Jan 02, 2008 03:36 AM PSTThis is a priceless collection of photos. Fruit basket, Mercedes Benz license plate, and the garbage dumpster all make for an exciting journey into the heart of Tehran-never before seen and captured by your camera.
