Landimages - al sadrpour

I am a Photo Journalist from Los Angeles California, and have been an established photographer for over 35 years. I specialize in subjects associated with adventure, travel and expeditions. I employ a unique style that involves blending rich colors and light into my compositions that, in the main, depict natural scenery and cultural phenomena. I have spent over thirty five years exploring this Earth of ours, upon which we live on. My travels have taken me to lands that are blessed by affluence as well as to those stricken by poverty and, at times, ravaged by conflict. It has always been my wish, using my camera lens, to share my experiences with others. In 2006, I published a book "Faces of the World" to share these experiences with my family, friends and love ones. It is my hope that through this book you will also share my experiences, and that you will derive both pleasure and knowledge from it. A second edition of the book is scheduled to be published soon.

Our last day in Cairo. We are writing this a day early so that we can enjoy every second of the last day of this amazing trip. We have seen and experienced so much in the past few weeks. It certainly hasn’t been your typical vacation. There have been some very difficult challenges along the way. But the people we have met, the places we’ve been and the experiences we’ve shared will positively change our lives forever Thank you for following our journey. We look forward to seeing you all when we return. Also, if you would like to make a [View Full Entry]

Cairo

Africa » Egypt » Lower Egypt » Cairo

Up at 6:30 for a walk to the Old Islamic part of Cairo (about an hour and half walk). We go into the Al-Azhar Mosque and get a tour from one of the men there (who asks for a tip and then complains about the amount until we give him more). We then walk to the “City of the Dead” a huge old cemetery where they built houses rather than graves for the dead. Creepy. We then did the rest of our shopping at the Bazaar, had some lunch and walked back the hotel for some time by the pool. [View Full Entry]

8am flight back to Cairo. Checked into the Marriott (thanks Mo for using his points). This place is a treat for us after some of the places we have stayed. Four maybe five star. We are on the 15th floor with a balcony overlooking the Nile and Cairo. Wow! It’s now owned by the Marriott but it’s one of the few historic hotels left in the city. It is too hot and we are too in love with this place to do much of anything today. We walk down the street, get some snacks, come back and take a nap, wake [View Full Entry]

After our tour we shopped the Bazaar, found some local food and brought it back to our hotel for dinner on our balcony overlooking the Nile. [View Full Entry]

Going to Luxor

Africa » Egypt » Upper Egypt » Luxor

Up at around 4:45am to make our 7am flight to Luxor. Got to Luxor around 9:30am. Checked in and then sat by the pool for a while. Took a look at Luxor’s museum. Not nearly as impressive as the on in Cairo, but interesting. Took a walk around town until we got sick of being asked if we wanted a taxi, or carriage. You can’t cross the street around here without someone trying to separate you from your money. Got some good local food and went to bed early. [View Full Entry]

The best day ever! Lisa and Mo took a cab to the Great Pyramids at round 8:30am. The plan is to take some pictures and to get tickets to see inside the Great pyramid. Lisa waits while Mo runs to the ticket booth to purchase tickets. No! All the Pyramid tickets were sold out! Mo bribes some dude in the ticketing office and gets away with two tickets. What an awesome experience to walk in the Great Pyramid, Whawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! We walked as far away from hoards of tourist we could get. We found a great spot where we sat and stared [View Full Entry]
