Alexandria, Egypt

More than a thousand years after the fall of the Great Library of Alexandria, a marvel of ancient Egypt,
a new Bibliotheca Alexandrina opened: It was built on the Eastern Harbor of this city, near the site of the original.

I chose a phrase by Egyptian writer Naghib Mahfouz, Nobel prize on Literature.
I like his concept because… don’t we do or try to do same when we capture an image?

"The writer interweaves a story with his own doubts, questions, and values. That is art. "
Naguib Mahfouz
