And I imagine you have merely touched the country and it's artefacts! It's too bad the "rulers of Iran aren't bright enough when they see the coverage of your tour, they don't immediately hire you to photograph all the various buildings and structures for posterity. But then they only see you as some "woman for nothing more than breeding!" And not for your brilliance as a photojournalist. Such a shame! When you tell us some of these locations are well over thousands of years old it would appear it is far more important to photograph every nook and cranny of them using what we have as modern photographic equipment and techniques of these days. As used by a brilliant photographer such as yourself and not some useless "happy snapper" without a clue. You've done a magical and super start to a wonderful subject that I can only imagine what an incredible subject it would be to have a 6 months assignment or longer recording everything possible. Good on you girl! cheers, ted grant -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Tina Manley Sent: July-09-16 3:14 PM To: MUGers at yahoogroups.com; Leica Users Group; paw; seephoto; Olympus Camera Discussion Subject: [Leica] IMG: Persepolis Bas Relief PESO: I find it amazing that after 2500 years the bas relief sculptures at Persepolis are still mostly intact and vivid. http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/163637770/original A lot of them had been rubbed until they were beginning to deteriorate, but the barriers prevent people from getting to them now. http://tinamanley.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Iran/G0000YmlbTddL96g/I0000 sl89lZQhg_8 The history behind all of these sculptures makes them come alive to me. History is disappearing too fast in the middle east these days!!
