Iranian-born and London-based photographer Hakimi presents this collection of 60 photographs taken--using conventional black and white film--during his 2004 travels to the Iranian cities of Isfahan, Shiraz, and Mashad. Rooted in the objectivity of the photojournalist's method, the photographs depict what one summary calls "the drift of Iranian society" from a ground-level perspective that, as Richard Atlee acknowledges in his foreword, seeks to supplant the discussion in the West of a dangerous Iran with a more human narrative.
