Trail to the World Domination Summit A slight detour from my regular work. This week I'm in Portland for the World Domination Summit... A week-long gathering of adventurers, artists, entrepreneurs who are looking working on the answer to a simple question: "How to live a remarkable life in a conventional world?" This is my 7th year at WDS, and it is consistently my favorite week of the year. Not only is it a place to reconnect with many of my excellent friends, but it's a place to push boundaries, and get support I lead many meetups here, including the 4T hike that ran this morning. On Friday June 29th, I'll be hosting a photowalk in downtown Portland as well So if you're around, beeure to say hi at the event or one of the many parties :) #WDS2018
Young Girls of Ashura It was been an interesting and eye-opening experience to witness the build up to #Ashura in #Zanjan Interestingly, there are many images that I have shot that are comprised of only men. And I have many that are comprised of only women. They each tell a story There are many children around as well. Some are riding on the shoulders of their fathers, and others are dressed up as characters from the famous reenactments. This young girl was the rare (only) one among a sea of boys waving flags down the center of the street during the procession... And she had the energy of a bunch of them as she waved it like there was no tomorrow, even throwing in the odd twirl for good measure It really was a family affair. And for all of the tears and stern faces, there was joy on display as well #yoiran #iran #iran4real @dustinmain
Designs of Persia This one, from Yazd's Jame Mosque. Check out how it comes out from the ceiling there, amazing! Do a google / youtube search for "TED ED Islamic Geometry" for a great 5 minute video that explains how these complex patterns are actually quite simple at their core. #yoiran #iran4real #lenspersia #passionpassport #everydayiran #exploringtheglobe #arquitecturamx #thediscoverer #mytinyatlas #mustseeiran #excellent_structure #theglobewanderer #icu_architecture #persia #yazd #creative_architecture #jj_architecture #visualmobs #travelon #ig_masterpiece #travelog #arkiromantix #instapassport #tv_architectural #archimasters
Morning, Noon, and Night I visited the Naqsh-e Jahān Square several times during my time in #Isfahan. This, the second largest public square in the world, dates back more than 400 years and is more than half a kilometer long. In the afternoon, it's flooded with activity, and the markets and bazaars are buzzing. In the evening, the lit buildings act like beacons as people wander and chat with their friends and loved ones. And in the early morning hours, it's quiet. I see a few do laps or exercises, some even organized with music. This is also the time with the best light. This is the outside of the Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque, the inside of which i shared on May 17th. It's absolutely one of my favorites. What do you think? How does the inside compare to the outside?

Sunshine and Chats at Eram Garden On a sunny day, there would be few places better to hang out than Eram Garden in Shiraz. Pathways weave around lovely gardens featuring a multitude of plants and flowers along canals. A popular place for students and families, I spent almost my entire time here just chatting with different people who would approach me. Families asking me about my time in #Shiraz, and so many friendly students wanting to practice their English and chat. #yoiran #iran4real #lenspersia #passionpassport #everydayiran #exploringtheglobe #arquitecturamx #unlimitedcities #mytinyatlas #mustseeiran #excellent_structure #theglobewanderer #icu_architecture #diagonal_symmetry #flashesofdelight #creative_architecture #jj_architecture #visualmobs #travelon #ig_masterpiece #travelog #arkiromantix #lookingup_architecture #instapassport #tv_architectural #archimasters #shiraztagram #eramgarden
Quiet Streets of #Abyaneh This rural village in #Iran was quiet but for a few older women in the dusty red streets sitting outside wearing white headscarves. I bought some delicious dried apple from one of the ladies that would have just been out of this world with a dash of cinnamon So next time, remember to BYO cinnamon :) #yoiran #iran4real #lenspersia #passionpassport #everydayiran #exploringtheglobe #arquitecturamx #mytinyatlas #mustseeiran #excellent_structure #theglobewanderer #icu_architecture #diagonal_symmetry #flashesofdelight #creative_architecture #jj_architecture #visualmobs #travelon #ig_masterpiece #instapassport #tv_architectural #archimasters #aroundtheworldpix
Hafez's Tomb I've mentioned before of the a huge respect and interest in Iran for architecture, and that also goes for the written word. Hafez, a Persian poet from #Shiraz in the 14th century, is one of the most famous in Iran. In the evening, hundreds of people gather around the pavilion and grounds, many with books in hand to consume and share Hafez's words. Some in open areas to chat with others, and some finding their own little quiet corner to be with themselves/ Like many places I found in #Iran, people love to come together and share time with friends and family around beautifully designed spots. The tiles on the ceiling of the pavilion over Hafez's tomb are bright and lovely and always. #yoiran #iran4real #lenspersia #passionpassport #everydayiran #exploringtheglobe #arquitecturamx #unlimitedcities #mytinyatlas #mustseeiran #excellent_structure #theglobewanderer #icu_architecture #diagonal_symmetry #flashesofdelight #creative_architecture #jj_architecture #visualmobs #travelon #ig_masterpiece #travelog #arkiromantix #lookingup_architecture #instapassport #tv_architectural #archimasters #shiraztagram
Persepolis Sunburst When looking at ruins of what was once a grand ceremonial complex like #Persepolis, it can be hard to imagine what it looked like when it was at its most beautiful. This is where a talented guide shows how priceless their knowledge and enthusiasm is. Vahid, with great arm movements, darting back and forth on the balls of his feet, and pointing to different artworks and ruins, dove into why Persepolis was so important, and how it fell. One of the things that really struck me when I was there, was how devoid of tourists it was. Here is this world-class heritage site, and we were the only westerners around. And honestly, there weren't many Iranians around either! Those that I saw often came over asking how my trip was, thanking me for coming to Iran, and asking for a photo. I have a ton of photos of my Mom with people we met along the way. That's pretty much #Iran in a nutshell. #iran4real #yoiran #DustinsSunsets #sunburst #persia #shiraz #monuments
