Moroccans have an ingrained suspicion of any type of image and apparently it starts at an early age. This little boy wouldn’t let me take a face picture, but inadvertently posed beautifully for this one. Chefchaouen, Morocco / June 2007
For a story about Morocco… and soap. :)
I used to own an Xpan panoramic, which was possibly one of the most fun cameras I’ve owned. It was a great travelling companion and perfect for wideopen vistas such as this Saharan sand dune in Morocco. I eventually sold the camera to fund the move to digital, whether that was a good move I haven’t quite decided!

I made this image in one of my favorite restaurants in Brussels. It is a Moroccan restaurant called Kasbah. I love the lanterns they have hanging everywhere. The atmosphere is always lively yet intimate.
A fabulous image of a blue door in a blue wall shot in the largely blue town on Chefchaoun in the Rif region of Morocco.
An elaborate staircase in the blue hill town of Chefchaouen in Morocco.
An ordinary bicycle propped up by a scruffy old door, wall and window shutter in Essaouira in Morocco.
Taken as early morning prayer echoes through the streets of Marrakech.
Oil painting inspired by a photograph taken by RedBubbler Michael Sheridan, who kindly gave me permission to use his image – many thanks Michael. Michael’s work is fabulous -check it out!
A Moroccan man in a contemplative moment – Marrakech, Morocco.
Erg Chebbi, Morocco. The Sahara
This portrait was taken in Morocco, close to the Sahara desert.
I’m taking a course in modern-standard-Arabic (MSA) Although there are many Arab dialects, most Muslims understand MSA because it is the language in wich the Qu’ran is writen. I met this man in southern Morocco and asked him if it was ok to take a picture of him. He said no. I was fine with that and I got to talk to him. My Arabic is still very (very!) limited but does it make a difference that I speak it some what! / The man was suprised and wondered why a white non-Muslim would take the effort to learn Arabic. And in the end, he allowed me to take this picture. Shoekran!
The Olive Souk in the medina of Meknes, Morocco. These merchants have to arrive at work at least an hour early to reconstruct their perfect piles of olives. Fortunately for them, this part of North Africa has a low level of seismic activity.
Built by slaves, the remains of the Meknes granary in Morocco is an interesting look into times past.
By chance we came across these goats grazing in a tree in the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco. As can be seen, there is little else for them to eat…
I am always fascinated by ornate doors and loved the vibrant colours and fascinating textures of the doors in Morocco. This photo was taken in Essaouira on the coast of Morocco.
