We are teaching the first ever 11 photographers in Oman. I'm hoping
that they'll go into the villages where they come from and open a
studio. Put some baby pics in the window and try to slowly change
thier cultures.

What you are doing is wonderful, Herschel. We have to convince all
people that photographs are not evil. The Quran doesn't say that and
neither does the Bible. Graven images in both refer to idols for
worship, not depictions of ordinary people. I've photographed women
in Iraq, Iran, and am now working on a project photographing Muslims
in America. Good luck with your work in Oman.
