Desmond,

Fantastic shots, well done. You have captured the ‘real’ Middle East. Living here in the UAE, you sometimes forget where you are amongst the bling bling skyscrapers, designer brands ‘lets catch up with and surpass the West’ mentality!

Why Iran? How did you find travelling there? It wasnt on my priority list of Middle Eastern countries to visit ,but your pictures have somewhat swayed me. Would you recommend it taking into account that I am a female traveller?!

Again your shots are mesmerising and are of a quality that I can only aspire towards..
Looking forward to seeing more of your work

Kathmandu, Nepal – came across a young kid on stilts entertaining a young crowd of local children. I wanted to pay attention to the reactions of people around rather than the entertainer himself. It was just one of those random things that you happen upon in Nepal and one of the reasons why its one of my favourite countries I have visited.

That was my first post, have figured out to embed them since
