I met Natasha Wiening, a UK based photographer, last year at a David Beckstead workshop. We hit it off and stayed in touch on email and facebook, and she invited me to join her in Egypt for a holiday. I had originally planned to go to Barcelona for some inspiration, but Natasha convinced me (thankfully) to go to Egypt instead. I’m so glad I did, as it was one of the best holidays i’ve had – I got to snorkel which I haven’t done in years and it was like a meditation – a chance to switch off from the hustle and bustle of life, and be surrounded by a whole lot of ‘Nemo’s’ and stunning coral. We spent most of the holiday in El Gouna on the Red Sea, but I desperately wanted to see Cairo, so took a seven hour bus journey….only to have a fever for two days…oh, and then later to discover that I could have taken a 40 min. flight which only cost a bit more! Between headaches and fainting spells (why oh why on the only two days I had in Cairo!!!), I got some cool shots.
