So I have finally reached Abydos (pronounced A-Be-Dose, dont remember who I was arguing about the pronunciation with but you were right) and now I actually get to post the photos I worked on in Cairo.  We ended up being there for about 3 days, but internet at the hotel was expensive and bandwidth limited so uploading wasn't really possible.  That being said, here we go...

2 guys on the bridge when coming in from the airport.  I dont think the one on the back was too happy about me shooting him.

Heiroglyphs on a false door at the site of Saqqara.  this is the spot at which the cult would make offerings for the ded person after they had been entombed.

Random panel at Saqqara.

My roommate Seth looking a bit colonial.

The "red" pyramid at Dashur.  It is the first "real" pyramid built for Kufu's father.  Kufu is the pharaoh who erected the great pyramid at Giza.

The meter inside the cab on the way back to the hotel from Dashur.  The cab-driver was a first class jackass; we agreed on a price for the whole day and then when we got back he demanded 100LE more because we "took too long".  Apparently the phrase "Whole day" is a relative term with no connection to the position of the sun in the sky.  All in all though, this is my favorite photo of that whole day.

Hah!  more object photography!  A lock I found in a junk shop at the Khan Al-Khalili Bazaar.
