9 Moharam at Kaiser Bagh
Originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1
After the Amin Juloos the mourners move to Fotowat and the scourgings forehead cutting continues, I reached Fotowat , but decided not to shoot here as I was tired and thought I would be late when this procession from Fotowat moves to its final destination at Kaiser Bagh..
Only this time at Kaiser Bagh I did not shoot from the dias or atop a table, instead I sat with a group that was going to do a sword matam with a double blade Iranian sword..
All the pictures at Fickr photostream,...
This is a long series too, I had the urge to take a dagger and cut myself but I let reason prevail, I was here to shoot pictures .
