Tangier

This is a Berber woman selling vegetables that she has brought down from the mountains to the market in Tangier. I held my camera down next to my side at hip level and pressed the shutter button to get the shot. The exposure was a guess. Sometimes I miss my Leica rangefinder camera and black and white film very much.

In the Medina, Fez

The streets are very narrow, so when traffic approaches – heavily laden donkeys – you flatten yourself against the wall.
