    Chameneji on Facebook

    Sejjed Æli Chameneji (see my transcription to read this) opened a Facebook page, which is quite funny, because it’s blocked in the Islamic republic. I’ve already been blocked there, as have been many Iranians who wrote some true things (many asked him what filter-breaker he’s using…). But no hard feelings. I’ve decided to welcome Chameneji […]

    Me, Myself and I

    This was my final project on my photography and Photoshop course. I’m about one year old here.  It’e one of my favorite pictures of myself, with that naughty look two-tooth smile. The original picture was a bit corrupted, so the first thing was correcting it. I wouldn’t have retouched it with random colors, but my […]

    Chomejni in the moon

    Dear viewers, the Pepsi logo was supposed to be projected on the moon tonight, but the image of the Late Emam won, just as it did thirty something years ago. Because many people don’t believe this, I’ve decided to show you more clearly how to see Chomejni in the moon crescent. Once in a while this […]

    One nation, two worlds: Secular family vs. Islamist couple

    This is one of my favorite pictures. I took it in the entrance to the Nation Park (park e mellæt) in Tehran. I like it because it shows you the difference between secular and religious people. The couple on the left is religious. The easiest way to tell that would be to look at the […]

Nowruz Piruz
Mar 17, 2013 | Comments Off on Nowruz Piruz

Last year Rabbi Abraham Gisser* published a Nowruz Greeting for the Iranian people in Thamar E. Gindin’s blog. I’ve helped Thamar translate it to Persian, and designed this graphic greeting, which is made of Iranian elements, that create a shape similar to Magen David. The most prominent Zoroastrian element is the Fravahr, that winged being with […]

Holocaust Day Timeline
Holocaust Day Timeline

I’ve always felt a certain affinity to the Jewish people and identified with their fate. The two nations have had a long common history – Cyrus the Great allowed the Jews to return to their homeland, and young Israel helped Iran become a modern country and overcome the adverse affects of earthquakes (without their help, […]

We are all organs of one another – Saadi
All men are the limbs of one body.

This is one of the most famous verses of Persian poetry, maybe even the most famous. It was written by the 12-13 century Shirazi poet Saadi: بنی آدم اعضای یکدیگرند که در آفرينش ز یک گوهرند چو عضوى به درد آورد روزگار دگر عضوها را نماند قرار تو کز محنت دیگران بی غمی نشاید که […]
