Thanks, I like this photo - I'm looking for ordinary street scenes to jog my memory, and this is good. By the way, if you revisit this place, how about documenting all those people you mention - snake charmers, tooth-pullers, dancing-boys? make a documentary for us, please.

Great subject. Perhaps you were shy to ask them to pose for a portrait? - but it would have been acceptab le I think, and you could have gotten closer (and thus shown more detail of the teeth, and maybe controlled the overexposure).

Thanks for this photo - it's a little different to the normal tourist images.

Nice photo, very geometric and 'cool'. Personally I'd like to see someone in the photo to break the impersonality - the 'third element'. But it's good for sure. Any exhibition yet?

Wow! I love those rich blacks! Very Salgado. Are you doing anything professionally?

The King has a very srtange impression of what Morocco looks like - every time he visits a town, the streets are swept, the houses are painted, everything is all lit up. So he thinks all Morocco is always like this. I hope he gets out in disguide sometimes :). Hoceima is that town over towards Algerie, isn't it? I once knew a man (German) who lived there doing a project for the EU. He had some good friendships there.

You got the exposure spot-on (not easy in that light), and the light is beautiful, but most I love the mood, the kind of place I would expect some movie a storie by Paul Bowles or something French and Existentiali about people facing their inner darkness and emptiness and distintegrating on thuis windblown crumbling terrace above the sea... Do you know I used to live near here, at Goulemime?

Hi Mark Just wanted to comment on the niec graphic look of this one - looks very simple and dramatic on the screen, in my opinion the kind of thing that would sell. Good one. P.

I'd have to go for this one - the curve of the balloon mirrors the curve of the pagoda, but inverted, and there's much more a feel of balance between the two masses.
