[Leica] IMG: Iran

[afirkin at afirkin.com (Alastair Firkin)]

Lovely presentation, and some fine images, I do get the impression that 
eveyone is "hammering" in Iran. The landscapes are powerful too, I 
especially like the ruins. There is a sense of "immaturity" in the street 
scene, where unlike most of your work there is not real focus

Cheers

PESO:

I've been scanning more photos from Iran in the 1970's and have put a 
few up for review:

If you want to see them large, click on Slideshow.  If you are one of 
those who think execution is more important than content, don't 
bother. They will drive you crazy. As they have me. These are 
terribly scratched, dirty old negatives which may only be of 
historical interest.  They were made when I was very young and using 
my first camera - a Minolta SRT 101 - and either Plus X or Tri X 
Kodak film that had been stored in the window of a photo shop in 
Teheran, developed with outdated chemicals in heavy mineral 
well-water in a dust storm in the desert. ;-)  I had a lot to learn 
about photography!  I still have several thousand more to scan, but 
I'm taking a break because the spotting is driving me crazy. I'll 
post a before and after of one 100% section of a photo if anybody is 
interested.

Seeing spots in my sleep!
