I don't remember why I was so interested in photography, when I was a child. I never said to the people, what I want; even my parents didn't know that I want to have a camera. At 7 (1962), I had a gift, a New Year gift, from my father's colleague and friend, who works in a bank and his hobby was hunting. It was a CAMERA! Strange! And I started photography.
I gathered my Allowance, and I bought a better camera, Diana brand, just for Rials 25 (36 cents); later some Russian Cameras Lubiltel,
Smena, Kiev, Zenith… and at last Pentax at 18; more Pentax, Canon
AE-1 and Canon… and Hasselblad, and Now Mamiya 645 Pro; I have started some digital photography with Fujifilm
S7000 and then Canon Rebel XT. At the last days of 2007, I upgrade my
digital camera to Nikon D300. This one has a very good quality, better
color and white balance.
I have a big collection of film cameras.
While I was a student at the university, I taught photography there and I had private mathematics classes, while I travel almost the whole parts of Iran, with my old-fashioned Volks Wagen, as well as other travels abroad, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India… taking black and white photos and
color slides. Later I have taken again color photos around Iran, Syria,
United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, The
Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, USA and Mexico… And now, with a huge archive, I'm still taking photos almost in all fields.
Since 1999, I'm working on artistic-literal-cultural website,
www.Caroun.com.
