The text of Master Hadi Shafaieh on the second round of Turquoise Photo Festival in Tabriz from: Dublin/Ohio – November 1, 2009
In the name of the Creator
Eighty years ago great photos of Lumiir posters, renowned French factory photography appliances that time, in the seven-year-old Hadi, had the effect of the path of his life.
The development of Iranian photography art, without the moment, knows that it is. The company’s representative in Iran with my father was “Shafaieh” and I had all the necessary materials in abundance.
I was ten years old, I had a step in this long way, I took the first photo of the house maid and I walked very soon. Alas, none of those works are left to be on the path of Iranian photography as the first place to be someone who has finally stepped at the university and instituted his heavy burden at the academic authority on Earth.
Too bad I was unaware of “the day” of such a day.
Since I live and the outcome of my theme I see my eyes today, and they are pooyandegan of this way of forget, and I wish to thank them for the rich days of success and shine.
The photo of that servant is empty
Hesitate!
