The Egyptian Desert Portfolio Blog

Dear Friends,

It's been a long time since the last update. After a lot of work and learning the new galleries are up and running with larger images, Flash, Google Maps and more.  Soon there will be a German version and a print order shop. 

Hope that you will enjoy the work.  Please feel free to comment.

All the best, Yarko

So, that is my first blog! (not only here, everywhere!!!) You made a beautiful website, everything looks so nice! Pia

this is my first blog anywhere ever also. congratulations on a most elegant site and also congratulations to both belatedely.

As usual, great work Yarko. contact; inreco@msn.com

Yarko, the pix of Qurnah are spectacular--powerful, moving & poignant. I know the villages have to go, but the pain, the loss, the sense of the denial of hope are palpable in your images. The images of packing up household possessions and the piles of broken goods left behind are haunting and disturbing. You remind me how much I care for the Qurnawis. I know, I know, brain says they gotta go, but heart says, "at such a price!" You've captured color, texture and circumstance, not to mention sadness and, yes, hope too. Awesome. All our love, Peter & Myrna

Gratulation zur tollen neuen Webseite. Prima, daß Du auch die Bilder von der West-Bank-Siedlung zeigst. Auf baldiges Wiedersehen in LUXOR

Gorgeous, elegant. It's very cool to look at your Medinet Habu photos and see it from a completely different perspective than my usual slogging-through-the-day blindness. Congratulations on the whole thing. Say hi to Pia!

THE LINES ON THE SAND ARE MADE FROM WIND AND SNAKES.THE BIGEST DESERT IS THE GOBI DESERT.

Jen, I know just what you mean. You work every day, day in and day out in these monuments, and over time your vision narrows, and you start to see only what relates to your own work. That was my issue in tombs no.72 and 121. The cool thing about Yarko's imagery is his vision that forces us to expand our perceptions again. Maybe it provides an impetus to use the lunch breaks (when you actually take a lunch at the Habu) and spend the time walking around and reconnecting. Cheers and wishing you all the best.

Dear Yarko, congratulations for your new revised and updated homepage "The Egyptian Desert Portfolio". It's really fantastic, like being in a real museum! What an elegant design, full of ingenious effects - it must be the work of an artist ;-) Especially the new pictures from the Eastern Desert let my heart beat faster - nice to have a real photographer as a travel partner! All the best, Markus

Yarko, just to let you know that interested people revisit your wonderful work, just like highway 61.
