Picture 14 in the Iran series and final image in the series pertaining to the anniversary of the passing of Khomeini.
I can’t translate the text on the top precisely, but a loose translation of the poem is as follows:
"Don’t mourn my passing, as this dark night will pass; This feeling of drunken depression will subside once you join me.."
I got the lens for 1410USD shipped to the states. So i'll be making a trip down there on monday next-week. I get a good exchange rate and free wire transfer (well gotta pay the $10 telecom fee) because of work. worked out to be like 1480 CAD. CAD is doing soo well right now.
I uped to a 30d eh... forgot to tell you. Smoking deal for that - pretty much brand new from some rich chinese fellow - had to buy the entire package he was selling tho - 2100 for 70-200 f4, 30d with grip and xtra batt, 50 1.8 mk II, 17-85 f3.5-5. something. Sold all except 30d+grip+batt for 1180CAD. Sold my xt w/ kit, grip, remote, xtra batt for 810CAD. The Upgrade only cost me 210 :D - But the f2.8 IS was a bit more :( Prolly coulda got more for the xt+kit - but eh - it was well used and out of warranty.
Have fun in Dubia my friend - looking forward to your Dubia series. Enjoyed the Iran series :).
