A Snapshot of Egypt

My view of the city from above

A rural woman sells her produce in the bustling market place

A man makes his livelihood selling cigarettes in the lavish bazaar

A boy carries pita through the market to sell to locals and tourists

In neighboring parts of the bazaar, a decrepit, abandoned building offers a stark contrast to the rich spices sold to tourists

Construction workers pass through a region dotted with past projects, abandoned by a lack of funding

In the barren landscape of the Sahara a farmer sells his goods to rich passersby

Surrounded by his country’s rich history, this man trudges in the blazing heat leading tourists by camel to the pyramids

These boys entertain themselves playing pool in a poverty stricken neighborhood in Alexandria

A Sufi Muslim makes his living putting his religion on show for tourists

The wall separating Israel and the Palestinian territories partitions not only those of differing religious beliefs but also economic status.

“You must riot, you must protest, just to be heard by the world”
