High spirits
by kfravon05-Apr-2008
First Annual New Year Parade of Northern California took place in San Jose on Sunday March 30th. It turned out to be a beautiful day - after a rainy Saturday - and everyone was in such high spirit. Kudos to the organizers, lead by Mr. Mehran Kamkar. There were many photographers out there, and I'm sure you'll see more of the day. This is what I saw! -- Faranak Ravon

As it is: Persian!
by Kamangir on Wed Apr 02, 2008 12:50 AM CDTIt's great to see such Persian events, as they should be: Persian. Without beards, turbants, mosques, and without the religious anti-Iranian 'crap'.

By the way Farah Ravon
by Anonymouse on Tue Apr 01, 2008 02:12 PM CDTMy reference to the 2 pictures and "IRI cover girl" was about this post. Not sure if you had seen it or not. It seemed it was a big deal to some at the time.
Thanks for sharing the photos they were really good.
Notes to Luna and AnonymousBoo
by kfravon on Tue Apr 01, 2008 11:41 AM CDTLuna, first of all, I love the name you chose! Thank you so much for your kind words. My main intention was to share the day with those who didn't have the opportunity to be there. This was the first year the Parade took place in Northern California. I hope more and more folks plan to be present for the future parades. AnonymousBoo, thank you also for your comment. I understand your point about the photos seeming duplicitous, and I agree. I should have been more organized when I shared the pictures with our dear editor JJ.
Is the person in pictures 57 and 58 an "IRI Cover Girl"?
by Anonymouse on Tue Apr 01, 2008 08:06 AM CDTDoesn't she know that in America you should wear the fake Iranian flag with lion and the sun? Everyone knows you wear the fake flag in America because wearing the real one means you are not cool. What is your educated?!
agreed
by AnonymousBoo (not verified) on Mon Mar 31, 2008 11:47 PM CDTnice photos... like your eye for detail and your framing. some of the photos seemed duplicitous and could probably be left out. nice job... and khaste nabashid.
Persian Parade in San Jose
by Luna (not verified) on Mon Mar 31, 2008 09:08 PM CDTDear Farah Ravon,
Over the years, your eye for detail has captured so much that we miss around the town and at the dinner tables while we are busy filling our plates ( If we're lucky to be there). I have noticed people's comfort in front of your camera, mostly kids and nice older gentlemen. Thank you for sharing your day at the beautifully done parade. This is a double pleasure for me, an Iranian transplant in San Jose.
Grateful to iranian.com for making it possible for us to view your pictures.
