Review of “Iran: View From Here”

The first review of our book is online! Entitled A Love Letter from Iran, the review is by author Kamin Mohammadi. She writes:

In describing Iran one is in danger of wearing out that age-old cliché – this is a land of contrasts – and Tori and Kamran’s book does not attempt to explain away the complexity or many contradictions or try to make sense of them. But within the atmospheric range of images and bittersweet essays printed here, they beautifully capture and communicate the immense charm of Iran, its ability to enslave the heart, and the tenacity of its hold over the affections in spite of the frustrations of living there. Most of all, this book is a visual love letter to a country that can befuddle the mind and nourish the soul all at the same time.

Read the rest online at Payvand.

And don’t forget to buy the book!

The reason I bring this up, is that I am currently working on a project for a multi-media news organization. To prepare myself, I am reading up on trends in content delivery and journalism. I am also doing [...]

      (See more here) A friend has told me that only old people (like me) still use email. Twitter and texting are the current ways of keeping in touch.
