Dan Jackson/Manifest Photography -Haggadah Project

Behind the scenes look at the book I am writing and illustrating. Images from exotic locations. Some studio work. Excepts from my travel journals. Things I've learned along the way that are shaping the direction of the project. Maybe even some sneak peaks from time to time. A way for me to record the process of shooting and writing my book -because sometimes the journey is as important as the destination.

Dan Jackson is a fine art & commercial photographer, raconteur and a bumptious bloviator who likes the journalist's credo; To afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.

There are a lot of small rooms and passageways and, like Abydos is also remarkably well preserved with an intact roof. The engineers cleverly managed to allow natural light to flood certain areas. It has many stairs and levels. One set of stairs leads to a courtyard on the roof that features a spectacular view the surrounding landscape. Astronomical motifs adorn the walls and ceiling of a room just off this courtyard. This temple had no historical references and concentrated instead on religious mythology and science.

Back to the mini van. Joined the caravan to Luxor. Arrived at the Hotel Phillipe. Nice big room and comfortable bed. Slept very well.
