There is an article making its way around the internet from The Atlantic. Amos Chappele a travel photographer shares his pictures of Iran. You can see them and the article here.
I enjoyed these pictures and they reminded me of my own trip to Iran in 2005 - 2006. The photo essay inspired me to share some of my own pictures from Iran. So, a post from the archives of my photo library, enjoy. ( My camera at the time left a lot to be desired. I'm glad I shot so much film as well. I'll have to scan it.) If you would like to see more please visit me on flickr here.
