Ashura Day: Rood'band Shrine, Dezfoul, Ashura mornning, February 2006
It is a simple shot, but as today is Ashura day it brings me back home
اگر چه این شاید یکی از ساده ترین تصاویر از محرم دزفول باشد ولی من را حسابی به صبح عاشورا در دزفو ل میبرد که همه چی به امامزاده رود بند ختم میشود. این روزها با اینکه به تازگی از ایران برگشته ام به طور عجیبی ذهنم آنجا است شاید چون اینبار تقریبا دزفول نبودم ولی دلیل مهم ترش آن است که این روزها درگیر مرتب کردن مصاحبه هایم که در دزفول درباره محرم انجام داده ام هستم
تصاویر پست شده در زمان کار میدانی ام از محرم دزفول اینجا اینجا اینجا و اینجا هستند
