egypt, cumin and dates
As we entered our small hotel in El Dakhla in the middle of the desert, I was overwhelmed by the smell of what I thought was grated graphite. When I perceived the same smell in our lentil soup, I discovered cumin for the first time. Since then, it never left my diet. I was in Egypt with my University colleagues to look at livelihoods strategies and social responses of rural communities to water scarcity. Pictures were taken with a compact film camera I used to carry with me during school trips.
