going to iran?

Has anybody of you been to Iran recently (after the elections)? Is it possible to work with a camera without raising the suspicion of the police everywhere? I plan to work on a project with some families, I have been to the country about a year ago and did not have any problems, but the situation might have changed now…thanks for any advice!

i have some information, but i’m not been in Iran in these months
i hear that in some city the condition is not dangerous, but in Tehran some friends of mine told me that now the condition is not the best for photographer

the police pressure is very high and the risk for “border line project” is high

My personal opinion is I would not go there at this time without a journalist visa. And even then it is a pretty bad situation to work, even for Iranian photographers.
