Rug Man!

I am going to embark upon a personal, Blip countdown to my leaving Egypt. I have the idea, of using my last 3 months here, to take portraits, of the many people I have gotten to know here and have played a part in making my time here, both special and fun!

Meet Rug Man, as I call him. He speaks no English, but we manage to do the pleasantries each time we meet, he is always there with a wave and a smile. He used to walk the streets selling smaller rugs, but has now set up shop at the corner of the ferry road, in Gezira, selling these beautiful, Bedouin rugs.

I found out, today, he is actually called Mohamed, though he will always be 'Rug Man' to me.
