Life goes on in Tehran

Couple of years ago I found a website called TEHRAN24 which very quickly became an obsession of many Iranians who are living abroad and haven't been back for a while. There was nothing special about the pictures that were posted on the site, they were just pictures of ordinary people and different neighborhoods on Tehran (and later other cities of Iran) and that was exactly the reason the site attracted a huge traffic of visitors.

Today,I found another one! This one is called "The Life Goes on in Tehran" and on the first page it declares the following as its mission statement:

Mission Statement: To show that regardless of what any president would have you imagine, despite what any media outlet would have you believe, life goes on in Tehran and elsewhere in Iran.


A big difference between this one and tehran24.com in the photographer's notes for each picture which makes it interesting.
