At the UN General Assembly

Today I ran into Hasan Sarbakhshian outside the United Nations in New York City. We spent the day waiting in line (over 1:30 hours) to get U.N. credentials. We then checked the empty General Assembly room where we played politicians!
The 64th General Assembly at U.N. will start on Wednesday. Iranian delegations are arriving on Tuesday afternoon.

Cobis Turns 20

Corbis turns 20 this year. In Corbis' 20 years, it has not made any profit for his founder Bill Gates. Yes THAT Bill Gates. Gates privately owns this corporation which is the second largest stock image agency in the world followed by Getty Images.
To commemorate this anniversary, Corbis has put together a special site (click here). I am one of Corbi's contributors in New York. The photo on the left happens to be one of mine!

Book on Iran - 44 Days

David Burnett, one of the founders of Contact Press Images, spent 44 days in Iran during the Iranian Islamic Revolution. David's latest book is a witness to his documentation of the bloody events that took place during his stay.
I spoke with David during this year's Visa pour l'Image. David is a master photographer who is also one of the nicests people you will ever meet. His memories of the streets of Tehran and phrases to get around after 30 years was impressive.
Here is a link about his book on the Digital Journalist site. Here is also a link on his own blog about the book.
