EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Iranian culture and tradition in the charming village of Abyaneh, Iran. The image showcases a pair of door knockers, one male (on the right) and one female, each emitting distinct sounds to ensure that the appropriate gendered person receives guests. The weathered and rusted appearance of these door knockers adds a sense of history and authenticity to this snapshot. Their textured surfaces tell stories untold, while graffiti markings hint at modern influences intertwining with traditional values. Set against a backdrop of vibrant colors, this vertical photograph beautifully portrays an aspect of Iranian identity through its attention to detail. It invites viewers into a world where customs are upheld with pride. With no people present in the frame, this image allows us to focus solely on the intricate craftsmanship and cultural significance behind these door knockers. It serves as a reminder that travel is not just about visiting tourist destinations but also about immersing oneself in local traditions. James Strachan's photography skillfully captures this typically Iranian scene, inviting us to appreciate the rich heritage found within every corner of our diverse world.
