H. Sarbakhshian in Iraq

H. Sarbakhshian is perhaps the only photo-blogger now in Iraqi kurdistan. He is one of the latest well-known Iranian journalists who has turned to blogging. (In Persian)

Another marvelous find, hoder, thanks! Tons of great pictures, sometimes with fascinating English descriptions. And the links page! I'll be spending hours at kargah.com.

Call me a sick pup, but the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this picture of two Iranian women smoking a hubble bubble was Dejeuner sur L'Herbe. (I really wish Bush hadn't included Iran in the 'Axis of Evil' thing. They're clearly getting sick of mullah-ocracy, and want to be closer to the West.)

Interesting stuff, hoder, thanks! Some of the pictures are derivative, but many are fresh, and all are interesting.

I wish I could write it (even if I couldn't understand it). Elegant.
