Medium format photos | Egypt | Mauritius | Tunisia

by Michael Nelson

I just returned from a great six week trip to the Middle East and Mauritius. We celebrated our daughter Nabra's marriage to Daniel in Cairo - Nubian style; visited my son, Shams, and his girlfriend, Sophia, at Riviere du Rempart in Mauritius: and traveled to the Tunisian desert to participate in a photo forum in Kebili.  Along the way, I took my Kodak Duaflex IV and shot some rolls of 120mm black & white Ilford film - some of it bought and processed in Egypt.

I thought most of them turned out pretty well.  You judge.  Here they are |
