Street Beggar in Marrakesh, Morocco, 2007

19 04 2011

Marrakesh is only 2 hours flying time from London but within seconds of arriving in the old town it feels like you have stepped back in time 1000 years. Outside the city walls, things are different. Wide boulevards stretch for vast distances and you could be forgiven for thinking you were in France or America. But it is the old city that holds the charm. Inside the adobe walls, you can find snake charmers,  markets and much more, mostly in and around the Djemma El Fna – the square of the dead. This shot was taken just outside the famous square.

Face in Crowd, 2004

Sometimes you take a picture and forget about it. Some years pass and you come back and the story behind how the image came to be has completely gone. This is one of those pictures – A face in a crowd.

New York, New York – Manhattan, The Empire State Building and Times Square

18 08 2009

In New York, I stayed on Manhattan island, somewhere between Central Park and Times Square. I could take pictures in this city forever. For now I will share 5.

The Empire State Building and Lower Manhattan

I think this shot was taken from Brooklyn Bridge looking back up the island.
