Naveed Nour was born in 1963 in Cologne, Germany but his parents were Iranian. He first started taking classes on photography when he went to the photography program at Tehran's University of Fine Arts. In 1992, he moved to America to become more famous and to take a step forward in his career but ended up working Information Technology. I was going through his gallery of photos when a certain photo caught my attention. Naveed Mour does a really nice job of blending the black and white photo with the colored on. As you can see, he also takes the black and white floor and the colored floor and puts them together. There is a little bit of black and white in the colored photo and there is color in the black and white photo. I think that what Naveed is trying to tell the audience, he's trying to show the two different styles of life, the old and the new.

  1. Good observation Gabe. I never thought that someone would pay attention to the merging of color on the ground. You are right about the differences of styles, yet it is the similarities that they share, in doing the same, which brings them closer together.
