Hajji Abdulkareem, Iranian Literature Teacher and Sailor

Nearly 70 years old Iranian literature high school teacher, sailor, and the

ship’s translator, a father of 11 sons and daughters from Abbadan, Iran.

When I asked him which is better teaching or working as a sailor, his

eyes melts into tears, and he replied “Teaching, Teaching, Teaching is

the best thing in the whole world”. Humble, happy, content and very

emotional. A real human being.

Great portrait. Wonderful lighting, composition and color tone.

Great portrait and very good story to accompany it. I think you have been able to capture some of his humility in this photograph.

Bravo'

sincerly, Shenandoah

Exellent portrait.Great photoshop work.Love it.

there are many good portraits in PN. many that are creative and technically well presented. but there are very few that capture the human spirit and one's identity through emotion. Yours belongs to such a rare and wonderful group. This whole series is a tribute to humanity. perhaps they are not necessarily forgotten, perhaps they just aren't remembered as frequently. well done

All those beautiful human faces, the emotion and the thousand stories they could tell you. . . . . . "his eyes melts into tears, and he replied “Teaching, Teaching, Teaching is the best thing in the whole world” . . . and he is right. The picture telling a thousand words.

 

Congratulation to you, for all this beautiful images, and thank you for sharing with us.

 

Have a wonderful days.
