Cairo: A Beautiful Thing Is Never Perfect

A photo series from American street photographer Jonathan Jasberg

“Early on in my time in Cairo, as I was photographing in a neighborhood that seldom sees foreigners, an older man stopped me and asked why I was taking photos. In awe of the aged architecture and vivid life I was observing, I motioned and responded: ‘look at it, it’s beautiful!’ The man looked, looked back at me, and in a confused and somewhat irritated way responded: ‘Beautiful? It’s an old mess’, as he walked on.”
