Vienna: City of Imperial Elegance with a Modern Twist

Vienna is a city that traces its origins to settlements by the Celtic tribes in approximately 500 BC. Throughout the ages this important European capital has been transformed into a dominant center of art, commerce, and culture. One of the cleanest cities in Europe and also one of the most hip and modern at the same time, Vienna is an exciting place to witness the juxtaposition of classic and modern. Gothic, Rococo and Baroque structures are often facing modern and contemporary edifices, not only in the center of the city but all throughout. I'm excited to share some examples with you below...

Celebrating the Year 2568: Naw Ruz (Persian New Year)

In celebration of the 2568th anniversary of the Persian New Year I am posting a video which I created comprised of images I shot while visiting Musee du Louvre, Ancient Near East section, Ancient Iran & Mesopotamian Art.

I was born on Iranian soil and left at a young age - in my heart I wish for the day that I can return, as an adult and as a photographer, to capture the magic and mysteries of this rich and ancient land on film and share them with whomever may be interested.
Until that day comes, the section of the Louvre which houses the arts, artifacts, and architectural art history of the Great Persian Empire, is the closest I can get to the magnificent splendor that Iran has to offer.
To all Iranians, in Iran and in the diaspora communities around the world, I send my most sincere wishes for a healthy and Happy New Year. As we say in Farsi: "Eid-e-Shoma Mobarak".
