CMYK at Al-Haram in Cairo, Egypt

The tiles in the floor of the pre-press room at Al-Haram newspaper offices in Cairo, Egypt.

I spent four hours last night documenting and filming at the offices of Al-Haram shadowing the deputy editor as he closes the paper and edits the front page between editions with his night crew. I left at 1 a.m., the editor in charge left two hours later.

I have shot video clips to also let you see what it is like to work on the front page at Egypt’s largest-circulation paid daily newspaper. So stay tuned . . . I am flying back to Chicago in a few hours and it may take a week or so to recalibrate my senses.
I have been living many time zones ahead of normal since 31 January.

Here are some other street scene images I documented today while traveling between Cairo University and the Al-Akbar newspaper offices for on-site consultation visits.
