Khyber Pass Cafe photo selected for NY Times "Why We Travel" 2010...

Nice of the NY Times to included one of our photos in their Readers "Why We Travel" 2010 selections...

Its hard to select only one photo to submit...but the photo below had the iconic Giza monuments, plus a lot of people preparing for a day at Giza...

Giza presents a very bright panorama...lots of bright tans that blend together at a distance... But the foregrounds are mostly dark...so its hard to darken the background .. without having the foreground go into deep shadow or black... Photographing the Grand Canyon presents a similar challenge...

Now its time to consider a submission for 2011...

Below is the photo that was selected for the Times...in 2010.
