One year on...

Well this week / weekend marks one year since #25Jan.
A lot has changed while some things have stayed the same. Some things have moved on and others have stalled. In many ways things have been united, while in other ways there remain divisions.
We've been musing over all of this a lot in our heads (and on the show) for the last few weeks and probably will continue to do so for some time. It's hard to put all our thoughts into words, so maybe our shows are going to be the best record for where we are right now.
This weekend we set ourselves a little project and decided to go out and photograph the same sites that we had recorded a year ago in Maadi during the days of curfew, road blocks, empty streets and tanks. Here's what we found:

Our apartment door

Degla junction of Rd 218 with 254
