26 Years Ago

I'm not sure if better scanning would improve this image.
I doubt it, the lack of sharp focus is probably the biggest problem with this shot. 
But the little guy is cute enough that I decided to post it anyway.
He would have travelled overland with his parents from Sudan to Cairo to buy and sell camels, horses or sheep.
This was taken on Christmas Day 1987.
He's holding a whip.

Makes me wonder what he might be doing now, as he would most likely be in his 60's... Small world. It is an interesting shot as it evokes these kinds of ponderings...

Oh dear... Wayne, I have miscalculated. I guess 1987 sounded like it was ages ago. :) For some of us it was :) And of course I didn't calculate using the title of your post, or I would have known that this kid would not be in his 60s :) lol That would be me :) The brain just isn't what it used to be... Sorry...

I miscalculate all the time. :-) If I had to survive on my math skills I wouldn't. :-)
