What’s it about:
I have started this photoblog with the help of my old friend back in 2003 in Toronto. ever since this site has been a part of my day to day life and simply reflects my view of the surroundings and the passage of time as I have moved from city to city, changed location and travelled, somehow at least a small part of all this is documented here. This is a place where I exhibit my visual take on a - sometimes not so - simple life in form of photographs; I hope you enjoy your visit.
A short bio:
I was born in Tehran, Iran, i currently live in Vancouver, B.C. my academic background is in Literature and visual arts/multimedia. I started taking pictures with my father's 35mm Minolta Camera when I was very young and ever since developed a passion for photography and visual arts in general.I work as part of an I.T. team with a company in Richmond, BC.
