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.

Because we were arriving later in the day I knew there would be groups of tourists obstructing many of the shots. Dandera was built to honour the Goddess Hathor. She is the cow headed Goddess of Fertility and the cult that worshipped her had a reputation for revelry and ancient alcoholism. Ancient Egyptians equated the Nile River with milk streaming from Hathor’s utters. They also described our galaxy as the Nile of the Heavens. According to some, this is where we get the name “the Milky Way”. One room called The Tea Room features the Goddess Nuut painted along the perimeter of the ceiling. You can clearly see her swallowing the sun at night and sun rays emerging from her uterus giving birth to a new day.
