CULTURE CLASH (Feature)
(Above) Mohammad Ahan: I am from a city called Ahwaz, Iran. I have been taking pictures of people, my family or other things that are around since I was 8 or 9 years old. I took slides and at that time there was no laboratory in my hometown to develop them. So I’d have to send it to the capital and wait for the whole month to come back. I still have maybe 20 or 30 trays of those slides, and my goal is to put them on a flash drive one day.
(Below) Mahogany Kingston: I was on America’s Got Talent in 2013. My audition song was Beyoncé’s Hero. You have to try, right? I don’t shoot for the stars, I shoot for the moon. Shoot for the moon then you land among the stars- that’s what I always say.
