Etemad Gallery Dec 2014 Amir Shams Once Again Somewhere 01
Tehran

بار ديگر، جايي ...

روزهایی که می گذشت، منی که پرسه می زدم، شهری که شهر نبود، آسمانی سنگین، سازه هایی تاریک، زمین هایی شلوغ، ساعت هایی که می ایستاد، شهری که شهر بود، خورشیدی تابناک، هیاهویی با شکوه، خیابانی سپید، کوچه‌ای سیاه،خانه‌ای روشن، مردمی خاکستری و دخترکی به ظاهر خاموش، ریتمی که جریان داشت، سرشار از زندگی و سکوتی الهام بخش، راستی من به کجا تعلق داشتم؟ 
چقدر می خواستم ببینم، چقدر می خواستم نشنوم، من عاشق رفتنم، پیاده روی‌های طولانی، تنهایی‌های بسیار، 
من هم جایی بودم، جایی غریب، جایی آشنا،
هنوز دلباخته لحظه‌ای هستم که زمانه فقط برای من اندکی صبر کرد، هنوز به کسی، چیزی، زمانی، نقطه‌ای، مکانی شاید دور، امیدوارم، 
روزهایی که می گذشت، خیابان هایی غریب، شهری که دوست می داشتم، مردمی نا آشنا و بار دیگر همان جایی که بودم،
عکس هایی که فراموش نخواهم کرد.

Once Again, Somewhere...

The days which passed, me who rambled around, a city which was no city, an oppressive sky, gloomy structures, crowded lands, clocks that stopped, a city which was a city, a dazzling sun, a splendid commotion, a white street, a black alley, a vivid house, grey people and an evidently silent girl, a flowing rhythm, so full of life and an inspiring silence, where did I really belong to? How much I desired to see, how much I avoided hearing… I am in love with going away, going on long walks, abundant solitudes… I have been somewhere; somewhere strange, yet familiar… I am still passionate about that moment when time stood for a short while only for me, I am still anticipating someone, something, sometime, a spot, somewhere maybe far…The days which passed, strange streets, the city I loved, the people I didn’t know and the same place I went again… The photos I will never forget.

More About Tehran

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
