January 17, 2023: Our first outing in Marrakech. First outing on a photography trip since early 2020. First time doing photography in a long time. Lots to be anxious about!
My first outing in any new place, especially in a strange new country, is always filled with trepidation. First time out is never about photographing. I can’t really see anything until I have gotten familiar with the energy of a place. And it takes me a while to get a feel of a place, to match myself to it. Yesterday was our first day in Marrakech, the very beginning of our first photography in a long time. I am doubting myself.
But, the place feels good. I feel safe, as safe as one can be in a strange new place. And I manage to make these two images. I’m happy with them. It feels like perhaps more than my big toe went back in… perhaps even the whole foot!
Morocco! Here I come!
