Featured Product: View From Here

February 14th, 2006

Cover of View From Here

Click here for a flash preview of the book.

Iran: A View from Here features photographs taken over three years of living in Iran. It is a personal account that features images of Iran that not only include the snow-covered mountains and desert expanses that surround the county but also images that define the culture of Iran: images of mourning and celebration, of day-to-day life, and of special events. We’ve captured an Iran that eludes the casual visitor and often escapes the notice of professional photographers. To order an advance copy of the book, click on one of the “buy now” buttons on the right side of the page.

The cost of the book is $22.00 or €17.00 plus shipping and taxes. Shipping is $2.50 per book in the US and about $7.50 per book outside the US.

“The most elaborate method to try to understand Iran is captured in the pages of this book. To live in Iran like Tori and Kamran have done, means riding a constant rollercoaster of impressions. Every time you think you have it all figured out, Iranians surprise you.”

–Thomas Erdbrink

Thomas Erdbrink is the Iran-based Middle East correspondent for the Dutch daily newspaper NRC. He has worked and lived in Iran since 2001.

    • Content Goes Mobile
      I’m a radio addict. Well maybe not addict. I don’t have the discipline for a true addiction. 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 [...]
    • ?Guru has a mobile?
      (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. There’s a good program from the BBC on the effects of mobile technology on daily life. I’ve transcribed a few quotes (didn’t get all the names… listen to the [...]

      Bruce Conner, RIP Jesse Walker | July 10, 2008, 8:30am The great beatnik filmmaker Bruce Conner has died at age 74.
