The cat holds a special place in Islam. Arabs in the 7th century believed that the cat was pure spirited. Pre-Islamic Arabs are said to have worshiped a Golden Cat. It is also said that the prophet Mohammad had a deep love for cats which led to their historical acceptance and reverence among Muslims.
In Morocco cats are found on every street, and many seem to be struggling to maintain that purity.

A couple images I really like from some recent weddings.

As a photographer with a sister in fashion design, I often am asked to provide my service. This is something I always enjoy, as it’s hard not to make a great image with beautiful models, cloths and creative concepts simply handed to me. This is a shoot for Lara Vincent’s hair piece collection. More of her designs can be seen at http://laravincent.blogspot.com/

This is a taste of a project I am currently editing on the Jewish history of Morocco.

Welcome to my new journal.

I am off to Morocco this week and will keep you posted here.
