One More Moment Before We Bomb

Iranian village

A beautiful photo essay of images from Iran brought to you by the Unapologetic Mexican:

Here are images, I wanted to lay them out. As glimpses. Isolated glimpses into another country, one that mostly exists for us in scary soundbytes and media-approved shots of hangings and flame and the dark dark chador and the obscuring burqa. We pump the hot gas of our fear and media worship into those shadowy shapes, because after all, all of us here in the USA are experts at marketing and advertising and image.

Granted, he pushes the “freedom” in Iran angle too far as the post progresses, but he makes a salient point with the images alone.
