Morocco on film
All the beauty and light of Morocco is difficult to put into words, so the poetry of film photography has helped me capture the luminosity, texture and design of this spectacular country. This season I’ve had the joy of partnering with @artist.and.nomad as an artist resident and apprentice. I’ve been given the opportunity to practice my craft as a poet and storyteller through the Craft and Culture tour, ethical travel experience. I will be going back to Morocco Febuary 15-25 and leading a special tour from Marrakesh to Fes via the desert. Come join me, there still a few special spots open if you’d feel a nudge to come rest, explore and discover the artisan craft of Morocco

Morocco's history stretches back approx. 400,000 years, old fossils of human ancestors from that time have been found. The Berbers, Imazighen, a word which means “free people” are considered to be the indigenous people of the country, who settled in the region more than 5,000 years ago.
