Description Heliopolis Club, outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. January 2012.

This is at a middle class club, by the swimming pool. This is taken almost a year after the revolution in Egypt, which was lead by an educated middle class... actually some are school and university mates of mine. The revolution has been hijacked by others...

Updated 29. May 2012: added background and changed category to conceptual.

Thank you!
I did not try that yet... but I believe it would eliminate the "drawing in" effect... I will play with that to see.

LeMatos In reply to batmantoo [2012-02-06 22:42:16 +0000 UTC]

What do you call "drawing in" effect ?

batmantoo In reply to LeMatos [2012-02-06 23:37:21 +0000 UTC]

The curved lines of the railing lead to the chair... I tried flattening the image, but found that I lost this effect.

I found this one very intriguing... All theses blues, lines... and the chair... what's that? Please, never answer this question.

The whole club was post apocalyptic... not a sole around... this shot summed it up quite nicely, I felt.
