Although these kids looked sad when i took the shot, they were actually very happy and excited to have their picture taken. The sadness does however reflect the harsh environment these kids grow up in. / This shot taken in the Tripoli Medina which part of dates back to Roman times. / . / / . / / . / / . / / . / / . /

I was wandering around the Tripoli Medina (the old city) and came across these 3 doors. All different and unique.

One of the local inhabitants at Leptis Magna in Libya. This one was quite the model, and was very happy to show off her piercing! / A funny story behind the scenes for this image. I was knealing down framing shots (and oblivious to anything else), when i heard my local driver call out to me from afar “Craig, look out”! Just as i heard that, i turned and there was a big bull camel about 5 feet behind me! He snorted and i nearly fell over ;-0. I backed away slowly from him and his girlfriends (much to the delight of my driver). / . /

I came across this pile of very old pots and urns in the Medina (old city of Tripoli). Some of these could be older than a 1000 years. Would be awesome to get some home but i don’t think customs would be too happy! / Nikon D300, 24 – 120mm at 34mm, f/9, 1/80 sec, ISO 200. / . / / . / / . /
One of the Tin and Copper workers plying his trade in the Medina (Old City, Tripoli). These guys beat the tin and copper for hours and eventually end up with some pretty amazing pieces of art and useful utensils. / Nikon D300, 24 – 120mm at 40mm, f/4.2, 1/80 sec, ISO 200 / . / / . / / . /

Here is the colour version which i feel does not give as much impact? / Nikon D300, 24 – 120mm at 40mm, f/4.2, 1/80 sec, ISO 200 / . / / . /
We nicknamed this Tin Pan Alley. There was about 5 people working here plying their trade, making all sorts of amazing things. / Nikon D300, 24 – 120mm at 50mm, f/18, 1/13 sec, ISO 200 / . / / . /
