Made my way downtown last week in an effort to check out the Modern Art Museum. The Museum is located on an island in the middle of the Nile. The part of the island that it is on is called “Gezira” or — Island. Nice, right? I decided that in addition to my primary goal of locating and looking around the museum, I would also take some pictures.
I used to take a lot of pictures before my camera broke. My mom just bought a new one, and so I figured that I may as well borrow it and take a few snapshots. I’m leaving soon and really haven’t taken that many photos. I usually feel self-conscious when taking pictures of people going about their daily lives — especially if I’m in another country. Also, I think that pictures of buildings and landscapes are usually pretty joyless.
I found a nice compromise.
In the end, I was foiled by bizarre gallery hours, but I got to get some nice fotes of some of Cairo’s many VWs along the way.
I also side-missioned on a quest to find a particular Adel Imam flick and in the process got covered in three kinds of perfume oils.
The one human featured is Mo’men. Gracious smile.
