Bedouin women preparing food Photo

Photographer’s Note

Bedouin women preparing food - a bread just from water and flour, which is really good in taste. They don't use coal or wood as a fuel- they use dry camel extrements (what You can see on the picture - under the pot).

hello Krzysztof,
although oveexposed in parts your image is nonetheless very interesting. It gives me lots to think about. Although I was aware that some people in the world us animal dropping for fuel, I have not seen a stove like this before. Also, I would expect to see a tent of some kind but they are sheltering in a ruin.Also, they are covering their faces...is that because you are there? underneath their black outer clothes I see they have more colourful ones. When do they show these?
thankyou for your in teresting post.
Bev

I like the POV in this photo, and the subject matter is very unique and interesting. My mother is from Egypt and she would always tell me about the wonderful flat breads that the peasant and bedouin women would make there. I like how you've caught some bread being made in motion on the upper right, and the detail is sharp! -Lara
