motocross at the 'mids

5/14:
Today was a free day so I got to sleep in- epic.
Then a bunch of us went to the Cairo Museum to get cultured and check out Tut’s stuff. We saw a lot of animal mummies, hieroglyphics and carriages. Me and Meg chilled out for the rest of the afternoon in the room and caught up on photo editing and enjoying a quiet day.

At night we all headed to the Pyramids of Giza to watch the Red Bull X Street fighters (motocross), obviously this was epic on it’s own. But only got better when we got inside. Originally we all had standing room tickets, cause the seated tickets were sold out, but within an hour of being there most of us had media bracelets and were snapping pics from against the rail of the riding area…..Probably one of the best nights of my life.

It was more than just an awesome way to watch the event, it reminded me how much I really love photography, especially sports photography. It’s been a while since I’ve shot an event or a game. And the past 2 months I’d been editing (my least favorite part of photo) and putting my senior book together (which was a handful), so it was nice to do the fun part again.
