For about five minutes, I entertained the idea of saving this until Outsourced Friday. Then I realized there was no way I'd be able to wait that long. I've already been sitting on this for two days and now I'm delaying my post about the camping trip we just took to the Empty Quarter to talk about it.
How about a closer look?
A little closer...
A LITTLE CLOSER...

You know how sometimes...ok, A LOT of times, I link to those gorgeous photo essays on Foreign Policy for Outsourced Fridays? Well, take a look at this particular gorgeous photo essay:

Yes, it's true. My two greatest accomplishments in life are now 1. giving birth, and 2. having three photos be featured by Foreign Policy. (I'm kind of joking...but also kind of not.) They're numbers 3, 6, and 17 in the photo essay.
How did this come about, you may ask? Well, remember that Jeremy and I had a whole bunch of photos featured on Creative Syria. Then Foreign Policy got to talking to Creative Syria, and the editor of CS emailed me to ask if it was ok if FP used some of the photos on their website. It took me about 2 seconds to say YES. The result was "A Grand Tour."
If the 18 photos in this Foreign Policy spread aren't enough for you, I encourage you to poke around Creative Syria's "Images" section. There are also photos from 100+ years ago at Creative Syria's Mideast Image project. Enjoy!
