Golestan's photographs, which have graced the covers of Time magazine and The Economist, are the subject of the show "Recording the Truth in Iran" at the London School of Economics. Golestan died in 2003 after stepping on a land mine while covering the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. "His main point was people," Golestan's widow Hengameh told Reuters as she walked along a row of large black and white photographs. "Nobody can ignore the truth," she said, adding that Golestan wrote that he intended his work to slap the viewer in the face. DIE FOR THEIR BELIEFS Golestan is best known for his photographs of the riots that brought down Iran's Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in 1979 and ushered in a government based on Islamic law, for which he was awarded a Pulitzer. Among the pictures on display at the LSE is one of a crowd of young men in suits throwing stones at police. In another, a student with a carnation in his hand scratches his head as he stares at a blood-stained pavement. Iranians forced the U.S.-backed Shah, whom they accused of neglecting the poor, from power and replaced him with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who had spent some 15 years in exile. When in February 1979 Khomeini returned to Tehran, Golestan was on hand to photograph him getting out of the airplane. During Iran's bloody eight-year conflict with Iraq, Golestan headed for the frontline, covering Iraq's siege of the southern Iranian city of Abadan. "I was amazed by how youngsters were willing to die for their beliefs," Golestan said in a quote displayed alongside his pictures at the LSE. Because Iran was outmatched by Iraq's military, Khomeini recruited thousands of teenaged boys imbued with religious fervor and sent them into battle. "I felt I had to show this though my photos," Golestan said. "I was in search of the deep human feelings that are buried within each person." One of Golestan's photographs on display at the LSE exhibition shows a wounded young soldier lying on the ground, his face a mask of agony and a picture of Khomeini peering out from his shirt pocket.
