Wanna Camel Ride? The Hard Evidence

Posted on 18 March 2009 by anthony

Taking photos of the Giza Pyramids in Egypt.  It’s a nightmare at the best of times.  Usually, the place is crawling with all sorts of tourists and wannabe tourist guides, offering all sorts of things such as a Camel Ride.

It’s virtually impossible to take a photo of the Pyramids without people in the frame.  Photoshop becomes a useful tool sometimes when it comes to tarting up Pyramid images.

However, here is some photographic evidence of how difficult it is to keep people out of shot.

It’s one of the locals hailing me down, wanting to know if I wanted to sit on a smelly, farting camel for a cruise around the Pyramids on a Camel Ride.  I couldn’t see him until it was too late, and I had already pressed the shutter.

After I had refused the offer of a Camel Ride, this enterprising individual then wanted payment for having him in my photo when I didn’t want him there in the first place.

He was dreaming!
