Green Eyed Giza Girl

Green Eyed Giza Girl

This was taken in Cairo, Egypt in the GIza area near the pyramids. Her eyes capitavated me and while my daughter was talking to her in Arabic I was busy photographing her beauty. It was taken with a Canon AE1 film camera with a 70-210 lens in natural light manual focus. My guess is that she was about 8 or 9.

This photo has been featured in Childhood, All Things Ancient Egyptian, #1 Artists of Red Bubble, and Art of the Middle East.

I had it on RedBubble before but it disappeared from my art. I was told it may have been a glitch in the system. It is one of my personal favorites so I am submitting it again.

    Yes, It was way at the end of my art so now it is near the beginning. I guess it worked out okay but I was upset when it disappeared.

    Could do with toning down a bit as you have a few blown highlights.

  • clizzio replied

    Yes, thank you for the suggestion. The pattern is washed out on the top of her scarf. Would I do that in photoshop?

    Beautiful!! She looks like the Cover-Girl from the “National Geographic” in the 70`s….well done Clizzio :)

  • clizzio replied

    Yes she does look like that cover. That is exactly what I was thinking as I was snapping pictures of her. I have that National Geographic Magazine and I also have the one they did 20 years later when they went back and found that girl. I would love to find this girl again and give her her picture and photograph her again.
