For @passionpassport‘s #PPSecondStory challenge // I recently moved from Spain to Egypt, and while I had spent a lot of time traveling through the country before that, I had not had the chance to explore Cairo all that much. This image was taken during a photography walk with a group of locals who meet once a week to explore areas of the city that are not necessarily in their daily sphere. I took the walk slowly, hoping to observe all I could. I always look for small, quiet scenes happening in windows and corners, so when I looked up, I was happy to be met by this kid. He was looking at life pass by on the street below his window through the old Ramadan decorations hanging between the buildings. That stroll was the perfect way to get to know this country and its culture.
