Photographer's Note

Another picture shot at the Sam-San-Dunes.
This picture shows one of the many guides of the camel safaris.
There were tourists on the back of the camels, but I didn't focus too much on them as it was much more interesting to observe the special bond between the camels and their guides.
It really must be a tough business because there are so many tour operators offering those camel safari trips.

Thanks for looking!

A very underated photograph Laura. Excellent framing, the emerging head of the camel is somehow mirrored by the leading man...Not sure how, but the curve of the camels back and the curve of the mans back and legs really fit together well. I'm a big fan of the muted colors as well, no need for heavy saturation and overprocessing.

Yes.. life there isnt so simple.. and you captured it very well. I like colors here, add an mysterious atmosphere to the image, also intresting perspective you have shown us. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Laura,
Your comment gave me the opportunity to discover this wonderful shot; I was there one year ago and you've really managed the situation.The attitude of the man is perfect.
