Jodphur, Burano and a Nubian Village – how color overcomes the desert sands of Egypt
One of the facts about Egypt that is hard to ignore is that the sand gets everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Heaven help you if you leave a window open, or a door ajar. It is that incredibly fine sand that seems to be able to permeate every nook and cranny, but also leaves a calling card of fine yellow dusting across everything it touches.
If you can imagine the world covered in sandpaper – slightly abrasive but ensuring that everything else is beautifully smooth -then this is close to what it is like living in Egypt! In fact, on second thoughts, it makes me wonder why Egypt’s main export is cotton and not sandpaper!
Heat, luxury and a land of opportunity – How Egypt offers great workshop potential
At 50c, a Canon 5d Mk2 becomes too hot to handle! Literally and figuratively. The L series lens with their metal fittings burn the hands and the camera body itself is uncomfortably hot. Sweat gets into the eyes and onto the palms making it difficult to see the settings or make any adjustments.
But, despite this, we are striking a rich seem of cultural images.
