Unexpected Cairo
One of the men told me he thought well of Cairo. It was interesting. “Take it from me,” he said, “there’s a lot in seeing places, because you can remember ‘em afterward.”
– Rudyard Kipling
This was a hurried moment in downtown Cairo. Captured while rushing past many intriguing stores and shops on a quest for some art supplies for the Nile expedition the next day. Feeling hot and harried, no time to stop and visit, just collecting first impressions on a busy sidewalk.
Yet, buried in the depths of what started as a very ordinary photo, there lie unexpected layers and textures, which are only uncovered afterward on reflection. Reminding me, once again, that the real journey continues long after I return home.
– with love for the journey.
