I always loved to see images. I remember that I would spend time in the library for hours and hours looking at the different photos in Life Magazine, National Geographic and other photographic journals and books. Also I always loved nature, and the different patterns made in it. I remember because of my Entomology studies, I would spend hours in the laboratory looking into microscopes at those beautiful and perfect structures that God created in those different tiny flowers, plants, tiny nematods, animals and insects. Then after I finished university in Iran, I left to do on my M.Sc. in California, the Golden State. There I was witness to even more of the beauties that nature held in each different moments of time. I remember I was always walking and trying to absorb all the scenes in my mind and memory as well as recording them on film. I forgot to say that I received another precious gift from my parents. That was a Canon camera with a fixed lense (G-III QL17). Then after I finished my studies, I returned to Iran for work. I consider myself an artist photographer.
At present I have a lovely Minolta Dynax 7, Mamiya 7II with few lenses. I still love and adore nature and all aspects of it. As a result I love macro photography, landscape, architecture (old and new), and many other categories like artistic abstracts, travel, people, fashion, and photo journalism.
In February 2008, I was delighted to be one of the Amateur UK Photographers short-listed in the Sony World Photography Competition Cannes 2008.
In March 2009, I was conferred the title of Nominee in Abstract by the Photography Masters Cup International Color Awards in America. In February 2010, I received news that my image is published in the premier issue of The Photo Paper magazine launched by World Photographic Arts.
I have a vast numbers of printed photos, slides and thousands of negatives which all are archived in many folders.
I love to share my observations through my photos with those people who love and appreciate.

Kidney to sell
“In Iran a regulated system for kidney donation with monetary compensation was introduced in 1980s. Under this regime the donor receives a monetary compensation from the recipient and enjoys additional monetary and non-monetary bonuses from the government. The system has been criticised harshly (i.e. Harmon & Delmonico, 2006 and Zargooshi, 2001) as well as receiving some warm support (i.e. Daar, 2006 and Mahdavi-Mazdeh et al., 2008) both inside Iran and internationally. Ghods & Savaj (2006) is one of the most recent papers which tries to reason in support of the system by highlighting the benefits and answering some of the critics. Data show that in 2006 1858 kidney transplantation took place in Iran. 13% and 12% of these transplants were harvested from cadaveric and emotionally related live sources respectively and the other 75% was from unrelated live donations.”
I called one of the phone numbers and asked for the selling price. Apparently the price of kidney is around 80,000,000 Rials to 100,000,000 Rials.
For your information the exchange rate is (for today) 13,000 Rials = $1.00
