[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Everywhere in Marrakech one may see inside or outside the Medina such vehicles : the Mobylette appears as the ideal way to move...and carry everything : I saw a lively sheep hanged by its horns to the handlebars...
La Mobylette -pour les intimes, la mob- qui permet tous les déplacements et tous les transports : j'ai même vu un homme qui transportait un mouton vivant accroché par ses cornes au guidon...

Those engines are typically norh african poppular transporation, we owe them to France. Nice shot even a bit blurry.

Hi, Mary. What I really like about this is how the filtered light on the wall reminds me of Arabic writing. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I would consider just cutting the Mobylette out of the scene entirely (Because in the case of a stationary vehicle, I think the shakiness of the photo detracts.) I've tried it (but I can't upload it because my workshop limit is used up for the day, but it looks really good to me. It becomes and abraction of light, shapes and colors. Best, -Hugh
