6 million in Tahrir

Or rather 6 images of million man marches* (millionyyat) super-imposed on each other.

This was created with a Gimp plug-in that I wrote. This has a limitation of superimposing up to 100 photos.

Here are other samples created by the plug-in.

Google+, created from a gif animation by Micaël Reynaud.

All the results of the Google image search to the keyword 'Hosni Mubarak'.

Same search as above but for pyramids.

Google image search for keyword 'street'.

Google image search for keyword 'bike'.

* It's difficult to have an accurate estimate of the true number of people who visited the square on a given day and a single photo may display a fraction of the people who showed up on that day.

Radioshack Egypt prohibited me from taking photos with my camera phone of a DSLR camera. The guy told me photography is not allowed!

The Canon EOS 1000D I was trying to photograph

There is nothing more stupid or frustrating. This is like going into a bookshop that bans reading.

They shouldn't sell cameras.

I don't carry a pen with me all the time and if I do I won't be carrying a note pad. I take photos of products to remember the name, model and price. No one will pay 5390 EGP without researching the bloody thing they are buying.

And this is not the first time I take pictures of what I want to buy. Nor is it the first time I take photos inside Radioshack.

Morons.
