[Leica] IMGS: Iran

[Tina Manley]

Thanks, Don.  That's the reason I'm working on photos of Iran now.  I hate
that our governments are not getting along and there doesn't seem to be a
lot of hope for future relationships between the USA and Iran.  If we could
all meet each other one-on-one, I think we would get along fine.  The
Iranians are warm, hospitable people who are so proud of their country and
culture.  They were just as welcoming to us two years ago as they were 43
years ago.

I've also been posting some photos from Honduras and Guatemala because of
the immigration problems in the USA and everyone saying the Central
Americans are all drug dealers and murderers.  They are just like us -
close families with children they love.

And photos of Syrian refugees because of the on-going war there.

I guess I could post photos from almost anywhere in the world these days
:-(

Thanks for the encouragement.  I need it!

Tina
