These were taken near Bel Ksiri, not far from Meknes. Everything I posted earlier was from around Ouezzane. I work on a seismograph crew, so I tend to spend a good bit of time in one area, but seldom in places amenable to tourism. I spent two six week hitches near Ouezzane, and that would be my choice if I was to return on a photo safari. Of course spending complete hitches in one area means that I know nothing about other areas that may be better.
I have not needed to resort to bribery to get pictures of kids, but do like the idea of carrying a portable printer. That might make it posible to get some family pictures, and maybe some of the weatherbeaten farm ladies. As a general rule it is tough to get pictures of the ladies, but a female photographer should have better luck.
I have the habit of cropping a bit tighter than needed, and it is hard to break. I am concentrating on the expresions, and when I see something I like I fire away without paying attention to other points. I now have the LCD on the f30 damaged to where I can only see about half of it, and few of the settings, so some of the cropping is guesswork.
No idea what the girl in the first picture is holding- the other one has a hand full of stones. Most of these kids are thrilled just to see themselves on the LCD. I have been hugged and kissed by some embarasingly big boys after showing them their picture.
