How do you take a picture of an owl in Morroco? You paint a picture of an Owl. Pack it in your suitcase. Fly to Morroco. Stick it in the ground. Then have a gallery of 60 locals ( some with Camels ) mumble at you while you lie in the dirt. ''Wha dizzz crazy man do?'' Shot in Goulimine at temperature of 103 degree. A perfect harmony of compositional elements is obtained as long black shadows anchor them in the picture plane. This is a straight shot without digital manipulation and done decades before others toying with the same idea.
