Marc,

I respectfully disagree with you.  Kyle did a great service to us by 
going to Cairo and documenting life as he saw it there (and did a 
wonderful job. . . .nice colors! Nice capturing of facial 
expressions!!)  He also shared with us his impressions of the 
preoccupations of people there.  It strikes me as an "engaged" form 
of photo-journalism.  There's nothing wrong with documenting what we 
see, and commenting on it from an informed perspective.  I believe 
that as artists we should all seek to understand what is in the 
hearts and minds of people around the world, and Kyle has done his 
part in that quest.

In solidarity,
Michael
