Definitely A Kodak Moment


A pair of tourists on camels pause briefly in front of ... what else? A Kodak shop. Egypt had the second Kodak store in the world, and the Kodak building is a downtown Cairo landmark. What would you expect from one of the most photogenic countries in the world? George Eastman fell in love with Egypt's light very early on and the photographers who have followed have been most thankful.

Yo, is anyone holding the leadropes?! Do tourist camels ever just take off and run? Is that one camel hobbled? (Can you hear the worried Jewish Mother speaking here? LOL )
Great pic; a lot to look at.

First, I've probably lived in Egypt longer than you have and second, you've missed the entire point of the photo. It was taken in Nazlit Semman at the Kodak store in front of the Sphinx, a favorite place for tourists to try out camels. Of course, it's a Kodak moment. They'd get a more scenic shot out at the panoramic point, but they aren't there, are they?
