Life goes on in Tehran
Life goes on in Tehran
“Mission Statement: To show that regardless of what any president would have you imagine, despite what any media outlet would have you believe, life goes on in Tehran and elsewhere in Iran.”
A personal monthly photo blog by a former Los Angeles resident who recently moved to Tehran, using a camera phone and showing to the world that fear and lack of knowledge about Iran is nothing more but the result of negative Western media. He also shows that Iran, for the most part, it's a beautiful country with kind, loving and hospitable people.

I have meet three different Iranian people whilst travelling. Its upsetting to say that I was cautious when I first spoke to them. But it was great to spend time with them and get a greater understanding of people who live and their opinions. Instead of what the media spit at us

Karol, i'm glad you posted this. Such an interesting site.
I orginially hear about this site via James Longley. From my understaning Mr. Longley (who is a two time oscar nonimated documentary director) is working on a documentary in iran right now. Like mike's point above, i have a feeling Longley's documentary is going to get to that exact point. Just a guess through.
