Dide hasn't been active for over a year now, but the 15 issues in its archives remain a great entry into contemporary Iranian photography. Issues are translated to English; look for the link in the upper left corner to switch to the English version once you've opened an issue. The project featured in each issue is accompanied by a text on the work; contributors include a range of international critics and photographers. The stated mission of the magazine is to "depict the variety that identifies contemporary photography."
