If I had to sum the photographs from up our recent trip to Morocco in one word, it would be…. Texture.

From the tranquil Riad we lived in, to the train station we traveled through and the mosques we prayed in. Morocco’s signature mosaic tiling is everywhere. Below are a few photographs of the colours and intricate mosaic tiling.

The view of the medinah from the rooftop terrace of Maison de la Photographie in Marrakech.  More Morocco pictures to follow soon.

Fietas, also known as Pageview, an area rich in history and every bit as iconic and memorable as Sophiatown and Langlaagte during the apartheid era of South Africa.

Below are my pictures from the day, most were taken under the train bridge where some urban city renewal took place in the form of graffiti, fresh paint and steel silhouettes.

Be sure to check out the blogs of Saaleha, Darren Smith and Gus Sillber – they’ll showcase their Fietas Photowalk images.

Part of my daily work involves photographing various products for the Autostyle.co.za website.  This gives me access to thousands of automotive accessories, occasionally I try to take a few creative shots, like this one.

The Lenso Eagle alloy wheel has somewhat of a cult like status with automotive enthusiasts, its been in production for nearly a decade and always in demand. Heres a little close-up shot of the spokes, wheel dish and some selective coloring and dodging.

Did an unplanned little shoot of a Porsche Cayman S,  black vehicles are really difficult to shoot properly. From lighting, shadows, exposure and all sorts of things. Luckily Photoshop came in to rescue some of the pictures. Below are 5 of the better ones.
