The Frozen Memory is a place to express my feelings and emotions through photograhy. One of my all-time favorite songs called, "Destiny" written and performed by Anathema inspired me to choose the name, "The Frozen Memory" as an artistic & trade mark for this photoblog. It also metaphorically refers to our memories which have been frozen by the passage of time.

I was born in Tehran, the capital city of Iran, moved to Australia in 2006 and now living in Melbourne. I started taking photos around the age 17 when my father bought me an analogue camera, Fuji panorama. Since then, I'm just learning how to shoot all on my own.

PerOz Band

My housemate (Hess) and me have been recently engaged in performing some Hip Hop songs. The Persian lyrics are ours; however, we just used some pre-made beats to sing our lyrics on. In fact, the music is not composed by us. The band is called PerOz. We are not sure if we can continue to record more songs in the near future. You should just bear in mind that these songs still need to be mastered in a professional studio. We are just publishing them to get some feedback from friends and fans (if there are any!)

To download our songs, simply right click on the following links and choose Save Target As... on the menu:
