An old Egyptian man takes another smoke of his cigarette as he sits outside at the remains of the Karnak temple.

Behind the scenes: I paid him 1 Egyptian pound, knowing that he would expect baksheesh, and that was all that was needed for him to accept having a photo. I asked him to keep smoking for the shot.
