Kaveh Golestan dies
Kaveh Golestan, well-known photograpger and documentary maker was killed yesterday after stepping on a landmine. He was a Pulitzer winner for his photos of ranian revolution days back in late 1970s. he was the son of Ebrahim Golestan, one of the most well-known film directors whose film, "Brick and Mirror" had a great impact on the whole film industry in Iran. Kaveh was working with BBC correspondent, Jim Muir in Tehran, and at the same time he was teaching in Azad University in Tehran. Many of young Iranian photographers such as Shadi Ghadirian and many others whose works are in Kargah, are his students.

I loved Kaveh's Blue Sky .
Is it not a great work . Why don't we apprishate our artist's work ?
Why should Kaveh work for BBC instead of working
for his own country . Shame on our autority .
