My brother Matthew, his wife Juana, and their two boys,
Michael (age 10) and William (6) moved to a suburb of Cairo in August, so the
events surrounding the city are important to me personally. This photo essay
uses photos and sound captured by Time Magazine photographer Dominic Nahr to
make a compelling and urgent account of the chaos on the streets of this
enormous city. The screams, sirens, gunshots, and battle cries add a chill to
the presentation that music and pictures would lack. The more senses that are
engaged, the better. Typically photos and sound aren’t combined, but with the
multimedia allowing for creative journalism, these sorts of packages are now
frequent online. I took one video of Greg shining a shoe fairly aggressively
but mainly stuck to still photos. If the opportunity for another video presents
itself, it might be an interesting addition to the project.
