/ about WVS?
Sam Javanrouh, married to Talayeh, born in Tehran/Iran, moved to Toronto/Canada in 1999.
Creative director at Optix digital pictures, a visual effects and animation company.
The word WVS is a 180º rotation of my first name, and was my sister's idea!
If you're interested in purchasing a print or have any other inquiries including licensing photos or hiring me for a photo shoot, check out the print/usage page

/ donation
This site has a massive bandwidth traffic, which is an amazing thing for me, but on the other hand it's making the site more expensive to maintain. That has been stopping me from adding new features to the site (like desktop wallpapers, photoshop tips,...). Any donation will help this site to grow. I will try to continue evolving the site as much as I can regardless, so the donation is totally optional.
This site is powered by Movable Type and was launched in July 2003.

The grey patches are a quick calibration guide. For best monitor setting, adjust your brightness contrast until you can distinguish all the single grey tones from one another, and not any box is identical to its neighbour.
