I was camping by this oasis in the Moroccan Sahara desert when the sunlight started reflecting off the water and turned the shadows on the sand dunes an incredible blue. The effect faded in slowely and then back to normal again over a ten minute period. I sprinted around with my camera and tripod like a madman and managed to capture 20 or so shots. My Berber guide told me that I was very lucky since he had only seen this happen 2 or 3 times in his life!

The simplicity of the way of life in this sub-Atlas village was humbling. As the host pulled out a delicious home made pita brad out of the wood-fired oven, I felt guilty for possessing something as valuable and un-necessary as an SLR camera.

As the sun goes down over Marrakech, the Medina walls turn a beautiful reddish tinge. As you walk past the walls at sunset, even in winter, the walls radiate heat collected during the day. This image reminds me of feeling the cool evening breeze on one side and the warmth of the wall on the other as I walked past this wall.

A day at the beach in Essaouira, Morocco. July 2007. A lovely little beach town, in the middle of summer, this place was like an oasis. We left Marrakesh which was getting up to 40 degrees Celsius each day and I remember being on the bus for about 3 hours and then ten minutes outside of Essaouira the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. It was such an amazing relief. Even still, it was very hot and I can’t imagine going to the beach dressed like this. It’s a far cry from Australian beaches I have to say!

Some beautiful texture and colour on a building in Essaouira, Morocco. This is how I envisage the three of them being displayed, in fact I have them in a box frame like this and I think they’re pretty spiffy! I’ve tried to simulate the style of frame to give you a sense of it.

i had what was probably my most distressing day in marrakech…..saddened and sometimes even a little angered by what i had seen going on around me. the treatment of the animals, the treatment of eachother…..i decided to head back home…..i wanted nothing more than to get out of there on the next train…...i saw this guy up ahead of me and thought for a moment about what being surrounded by this everyday does to your head…...you couldn’t live here and maintain the level of empathy that we can allow ourselves to feel at home….. with safety nets, animal rights and the rest of it….these things don’t exist here…...not because these people are mean spirited….but simply because they are too busy trying to survive…..i thought…..how long would it take to errode my compassion…...? / / .....a part of my someone series

This family of 8 is not homeless (though I’m sure they are close to it) The photo was taken in July 2007, the hottest summer I have ever experienced, though probably an annual thing for the locals of Morocco. The family was sleeping on the roof because the days were reaching 45 Celsius, and the nights were not much better. Everyone stayed in the shade during the days and came out at night to go about their business. Even small children were up till 2am. Needless to say, it made my trip exhausting but exciting. Fes or Fez (Arabic فاس [Fās], French Fès) is the third largest city in Morocco, after Casablanca and Rabat, with a population of 946,815 (2004 census). It is the capital of the Fès-Boulemane Region. Fes is one of the four so-called “imperial cities” (the others are Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat). The Medina of Fes el Bali, the largest of the two medinas of Fes, is believed to be the largest contiguous car-free urban area in the world. Fes el Bali is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Sunrise over Fes, Morocco. Adhan (Athaan) is the Islamic call to prayer, recited by the muezzin. The root of the word is ʼḏn “to permit”, and another derivative of this word is uḏun, meaning “ear.” This is the minaret of Kairouyine mosque in Fes. The university which is attached, was founded in 859AD and ‘is considered the oldest continuously operating institution of higher learning in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records.’ (Care of Wikipedia)

Chefchaouen is a city in northwest Morocco. It is the chief town of the province of the same name. Chefchaouen is situated in the Rif Mountains, just inland from Tangier and Tetouan. The city was founded in 1471, as a small fortress which still exists to this day, by Moorish exiles from Spain to fight the Portuguese invasions of northern Morocco. It was known as one of the main concentrations of Moriscos and Jews who sought refuge in this mountainous city after the Spanish Reconquista in medieval times. In 1920, the Spanish seized Chefchaouen to form part of Spanish Morocco. They returned the city after the independence of Morocco in 1956. The name ‘Chefchaouen’ refers to the shapes of the mountain tops that tower over the town, that look like the two horns (chaoua) of a goat. It literally means “look at the horns”. The blue-rinsed houses and buildings, are a tradition that comes from the town’s former Jewish population. (Care of Wikipedia)
