robert reinlund 0 Posted February 19, 2002 I was in Eritrea on a documentary project, near the Sudan border. We stopped for the night near the river Gash, and could hear a lot of screaming animals. A caravan of camels on its way across Eritrea didn't manage to cross the river. Local villagers tried desperately to drag the camels out of the river before sunset. I managed to shoot one roll of Tmax 100 before it became to dark, mostly using my 18-35 mm zoom with Nikon F4. This camel was the only one they managed to get loose before dark. Only one camel died during the night. 3 years earlier the same happened, and then over 40 camels were drowned during the night. the rest of my camel pictures: http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=184960 Robert Link to comment
nomade 1 Posted February 19, 2002 Incredible! What a story! It looks like those shots of the National Geographic. Have you tried to sell it? Link to comment
dustinhenry 0 Posted February 19, 2002 I do find that this image works in so many ways. It tells the whole story just by seeing the facial expressions, and to see the strained muscles. But the most mysterious part about this image to me is that person in the shirt in the right center background. It would appear that he's the superior to these subordinates. It leaves my mind thinking. What are these guys doing, why are they here...Great job on making my mind think, it takes a pot of coffee to do that usually! - Dustin Link to comment
