so here is where i talk about me, WOW! my dream come true, i can talk all i want and all of it about me... and i don't know what to say. well let's talk about why i got the chance to talk about me.
the reason for this site it that i love trees, i'm mad about taking pictures, i want to catch that certain something (which i have not yet been able to), i like the net and the chance to own a place of my own, i think that my friends are cool, shahrooz is really a great web designer and also nice enough to cut me a deal, my family is just about the tops, the head-doc in the family could drive anybody crazy, and ofcourse masoud came into my life. the pictures really are mostly because masoud taught me how to look, or actually is trying to teach me, they are really his, some of them he really took and all of them i saw with his eyes, he's an artist and he also puts up with me, a really great guy!
these are all why you see what you see and i did what i did!

now about 'niyasar', niyasar is a beautiful place near 'kashan', where one of the main sources of income is making rosewater and you should see this place in spring, it's heaven. i've seen foxes and hares running free and at night you can here the jackals and NOT the "hum" of the city, yup it's heaven. AND 'atabaki' is my parents place near 'niyasar', this place was loved by my maternal grandparents, most of the trees you see are there because of 'baba joon', and why the leaves are again green and looking fine is because 'maman joon' was a regular khanoom sarhang and determined enough to make it alive again. why it is as it is now, and why i can stay there and take pictures is because my parents are really cool and also love trouble! they also love each other alot and believe me it has rubbed off at the house.

well that's about all take a look at the pictures and let me know your thoughts, AND if you want a copy, a computer version or a paper one, send me an email at katayoun@katayoun.net. the prices are negotioable.

well now that i have time and space! nicole this is the place where i said, do come and visit us again. also maggie, diane, serge and carol you promised to come again and you haven't seen atabaki at all. well carol has seen it in it's previous glory where she ofcourse pushed me into the water, my parents still laugh about it so you better be careful!
my friends you are always welcome at atabaki, send me an email, give me a call, knock on the door.

see you,
Katayoun Massoudi
