Tea break

egyptian potter

Another portrait from Egypt — this time a potter taking a break to have some tea. I had a print order to run last week and sent this and my Chinese kite flyer along for a couple of 11×14s. I don’t often get prints made for myself but these two look really nice.

As usually happens, I’m having some technical issues just when I have the least time to deal with them. One of my terabyte drives is acting up so I’ve been shuffling the data off to other drives so that I still have two copies should it go down altogether. I’m on the road for the next week so I’ll have to finish dealing with it when I get back but at least my images are safe in the meantime. I think it may just need to be reformatted but it’s not going to happen today.

As usual, I’ll do my best to post from the road.

    Wow Mike – these last two portraits are really terrific. Great light, short depth-of-field, warmish tones and personality-filled subjects. Definitely some “I wish I had shot them” shots. Have fun on your next trip. Look forward to some pics.
