Photographic challenges
Taking photos of people in Morocco is a HUGE challenge. Folks simply do not like having their photos taken....not unless you are buying something from their stall or their shop. To correctly compose a shot thus became an uphill challenge.I generally will ask for permission but Morocco is one tough nut to crack as people quickly scowled and then started to shoo you off with their hands, muttering some inaudibles. It became imperative to use telephoto lens to shoot from afar, or be sly and quick with your shots. In Marrakesh, it became the first place in my years of photography to have 2 guys blocking me from taking photos of a street because it was "THEIR" street. They started to jump up and down in front of me and then took to physically block me from taking any photo. Truthfully, I was shocked by such unruly rudeness.The locals too exhibit much disregard for photography as folks will...
