entry description
El-Rcif square lies in the heart of the medina in Fes. The repeating red and blue colors in this ancient square caught my eye. I came back three mornings in a row before this woman finally sat on the bench to complete the composition.about the photographer
I am a San Francisco and Barcelona based photographer, wireless entrepreneur, nonprofit board member, husband, and father of two.I took up photography a few years after I graduated from college, when I quit my job as a systems engineer to travel around the world for eighteen months. During my travels, I was surprised to find that many of my most intense memories and experiences were when I was behind the lens. Nowdays I take photographs because I like to document my explorations of the world, because photography forces me to concentrate, focus, and live in the moment, and because I hope every once in a while to create something of lasting beauty.back to gallery
