I am jumping the gun a little here with my posts on Iran but I really wanted to get these photos up.
Here are some portraits of the guys that I shared the cabin with on the Train from Tabriz (Iran) to Van (Turkey). These guys were very friendly but unfortunately none of us could speak each others languages. I wish i had made more of an effort to learn some Farsi!
As far as I could tell a few of these guys had bought a lot of cigarettes in Iran and were bringing them into Turkey to make some bucks 
Wikid pics Adam!
Man these are wicked! Forget your day job and take up photography!
Love your pictures mate, would you recommend the train ride? I’m thinking of a backpacking trip through Iran next year
I just stumbled on this page – phenomenal pictures and a fascinating journey. thanks so much for sharing!
Look at his hairy hand:) man are you partly Iranian ?
Nice pictures and good job brother.
Haha, that first guy looks really like Nico from GTA IV.
Great pics, especially with the high contrast.
@Everyone thankyou so much for checking out my blog and have a look at the photos. I am having a really great time seeing these countries in the middle east and I highly recommend you all to try get over here some time. Pretty much everyone I have met has been extremely friendly and the culture is extremely interesting. Thanks again!
