By looking through Mashka Cordwell's favourites in Flickr (she has a great 'artistic eye'), I stumbled upon this B&W portrait by Ahmad Kavousian. Fantastic street / portrait photographer!! A lot of talent to be inspired by. This particular photo was after a series of photos about the Islamic revolution, which he'd taken photos of in 1979. I wrote this in response ...
Play for me ... a memory
Something with sweet melancholy
I shall hear it on the street
Evoke a dance with my two left feet
Revolutions and consequence depart
Defeat shall not pull the strings of my heart
I see it now, in black and white
The struggle, the pain, the fight
Promised heaven, a rebirth
Minds were lost in this hell on earth
So play for me ... a memory
Let the light shine through this ebony
