Washington, DC – In the summer of 2010, Brandon Stanton set out to take pictures of the Humans of New York. He posted his touching photographs of ordinary people to a blog, captioning them with quotes from his conversations with the subjects. The Humans of New York website and social media pages went viral. Stanton travelled to Iran in 2012 and again in 2015 where he continued to take pictures of strangers, conveying their hopes, dreams, disappointments, and stories.
A photograph from his most recent visit to Iran pictures a young woman in a sky blue headscarf, sitting at a restaurant table in Namakabroud. The caption details her view on the strict Islamic society that surrounds her.
“Things are getting freer,” she said. “Even a few years ago, I couldn’t wear what I’m wearing now without inviting a rebuke. The scarves are getting brighter and looser. The sleeves are getting shorter. The laughter is getting louder. This is a very young country. More than half the population is under 30. This country is full of mischievous, curious Iranian children. And the people who make the rules are getting older. And just like the Iranian parent, they are getting exhausted.”
Other stories focus on more mundane activities like swimming, work, and roller skating. One boy, dressed in plaid shorts and a T-shirt, leaned into his father at the beach. The young kid exclaimed, “My dad taught me how to swim!” When Stanton asked him how to swim, the boy replied, “First put on your life jacket and then hold on to the raft.”
Humans of Iran, like Humans of New York, contains tales of humor, of adventure, of love, and of tragedy, but all provide insight into Iran’s culture. Stanton made sure to emphasize the difference between the Iranian government and the Iranian people in a 2012 blog post.
“Iran’s government is not its people,” Stanton emphasizes. “You can greatly enjoy a country while at the same time disagreeing with its government. Travel is not advocacy of ideology or policy. Travel is travel, and it’s the single greatest contributor to understanding cultures.”

Wrong.......For your information .. In Islam there is no stoning
http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur'an,_Hadit ... rs:StoningThe present-day Qur'an does not explicitly mention the act, but according to hadith, the Qur'anic verses of stoning were written on a piece of paper and were lost when a goat ate it:
[Narrated 'Aisha] "The verse of the stoning and of suckling an adult ten times were revealed, and they were (written) on a paper and kept under my bed. When the messenger of Allah expired and we were preoccupied with his death, a goat entered and ate away the paper."
Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal. vol. 6. p. 269; Sunan Ibn Majah, p. 626; Ibn Qutbah, Tawil Mukhtalafi 'l-Hadith (Cairo: Maktaba al-Kulliyat al-Azhariyya. 1966) p. 310; As-Suyuti, ad-Durru 'l-Manthur, vol. 2. p. 13
It was narrated that 'Aishah said: “The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.” (Hasan)
Ibn Majah 3:9:1944
Scholars have still managed to find justification for stoning from within the Qur'an:
So when Our decree came to pass, We turned them upside down and rained down upon them stones, of what had been decreed, one after another.
Qur'an 11:82

Seems, stoning for adultery is a Judaism law that was also adapted by Christianity .. seems in both case is in the holly books
Was told (not expert in these things) no such thing exists neither in Koran nor Islam nor Moh sayin it
PressTV should sponsor her. It would be great PR for Iran.
I can certainly understand why Ahmadinejad is so much in favor of women covering up!! Maybe we should start an ugly woman threadnoddy wrote:Queen Fawzia,Queen Soraya,Queen Farah,Mrs Ahmadinejad.
