IRAN PROTESTS 2022 | Washington Square Park


Through Twitter, I learned of a rally held in Washington Square Park in solidarity with protestors in Iran, so I packed my two Fuji "rangefinders" fitted with the XP16mm and XP18mm and attended the event for a couple of hours.


I reckoned the attendance was in the low hundreds; perhaps evenly split between men and women, while many carried photos of Mahsa Amini and urged others to say her name out loud. The 22-year-old died after being arrested by the Guidance Patrol for wearing an "improper" hijab while visiting Tehran.







Call Me KIJU

Here are impromptu street portraits of Kiju on Crosby Street in Soho, NYC. Kiju is an alternative rock performer.
