I began my photographic career while living in Tehran, Iran, from 1970 to 1974. As a high school student living in Iran, I found photography of this beautiful country an inspiration which motivated me to continue my photographic projects. I recently worked with a telecommunications company in Afghanistan as a Satellite Systems Engineer with the military providing support for sophisticated communications equipment. Not only did this offer me many unique opportunities to photograph the region and the people, both foreign and domestic, but an opportunity to photograph them showing the personal side of these brave men and women and their lives and activities in this war zone.
