English: Goose-stepping Iranian soldiers march through Tehran during a celebration of the Islamic revolution and a takeover of power by Ayatollah Khomeini.
Michael spent nine years of his life as a photojournalist travelling back and forth to Iran covering the Iran/Iraq war and the Islamic revolution in Iran. On this occasion, he was in Tehran for the anniversary of the Islamic revolution for National Geographic magazine. He planned to photograph it from the footpath, but suddenly his changed my mind and lay down in the middle of the road, and the soldiers marched over the top of him.
