[Leica] IMGS: Abyaneh, Iran

[Nathan Wajsman]

I look at them Tina, but it is not always easy to keep up with you :-)

I really like this part; also nice to see some women for a change. The way they are hidden away from public life in that part of the world sometimes gives the impression that the societies in Iran or Saudi consist of self-reproducing, mostly bearded, men ;-)

Cheers,
Nathan
