Cairo, Egypt June 2008
Ahmed, 63 years old, well known in his neighbourhood as " Goal" because of his qualities as goalkeeper, does this unique ironing in his stand in the outskirts of Cairo.
For centuries, he and his family, have preserved this ancient way of ironing, using their hands and legs. To vaporize the clothes, Ahmed takes a mouthful of water and then spits it on to the clothes.
