Marrakech, Morocco
Inspiration: Marrakech is a fantastic city. It is a complex mixture of Berber and Arab, French and Spanish, residents and tourists, ancient and modern, rich and impoverished, gentility and hostility, peace and cacophony. It is a hospitable and warm city as well as the apex of hard bargaining and the perpetual hustle. An unforgettable experience.
I will post more photographs of Marrakech and the Atlas mountains over the next couple of days. And then I will return to my love affair with New York.
I like the bench and the yamaha guy, there is some kind of confidence and relax life on their posture.

The last 3 shots did it for me. Somehow the transition that you did here from motorcycle, to bicycle, to walking is brilliant.

You are right about the contrasts.. old and new, tradition and modern, gentility and hostility.. That's what makes it so special!

Awwww, I've been to Marrakech but I didn't capture the images in b/w. These are just too awesome.

Marrakech is the city of red color and "marrakech green"... The idea was funny and the picture is really cool with just B/W

I am so inspired by your photographs. My favorite is the row of trees where the forward tree is in focus and the men on bicycles moving toward you are watery. Fantastic! This photograph is just perfect! Keep up the brilliant work.
