Barbershop, Dahab, Egypt, Barbershop #1, January 2012. Dahab and Me. Dahab is the name of a small town in the South Sinai, Egypt. A town that stands between the desert, a few Bedouin villages, and turquoise water, with some of the richest reefs in the world. The marine biologist Jacques Cousteau helped make the region famous while exploring it in the mid 50s. The village developed into a small town, famous for the dive and for its laid back atmosphere. It has remained a place to relax for backpackers traveling a famous route from Cairo to Istanbul, around Israel. Along the past 9 years, I developed great relationships with people and the land. The use of the large format camera for all these years, in the same small town, became a ceremony, a performance and part of my subject. USA.
