My apologies to those who have had to re-add me from photoblogs.org, I've changed the URL of this site and there isn't presently any way of doing this from their interface. Please update your URLs, as I will take down the old URL soon. Thank you!

As you travel around Giza, you will inevitably encounter all sorts of people trying to sell you whatever they can offer: water, postcards, or in this case photo-ops.

I was with a guide who was trying to maximize the amount of money left in my pocket for his tip so he would try and do his best to shew people away after I would give them their baksheesh. Seeing this guy was just like un-cut cocain for a color junkie like me so I gladly took his picture, cheesy and touristy or not! I even like the fact that he appears to be wearing tennis shoes!

I think the shot cost me a total of about 35¢ (2 Egyptian Pounds). I think it was worth it.

I was mounted on horseback when I took this picture. I think that even though I was shooting down onto the subject the picture worked out. The pyramids make one heck of a photogenic background!
