Y'know, I think it's your patriotic duty to find a mass media outlet for a
broad selection of your photos from Iran. They clearly illustrate a very
different culture which we are being encouraged to despise.
The pictures contain the essential humanity of these people that so many
asshats in this country want to hate. You can't hate Persians when you see them
just being people, never mind the exotic locales. I think such an essay would
encourage tourism, if ever so slightly, and that could only be a good thing.
Right now and for many years, Americans are and have been conditioned to view
Iranians as an intractable foe that must be brought to heel by any means,
including war. That's nonsense, and your photos show it clearly.
