At Dar Al Bir Oua Lihsane, Sara and I made friends with two boys named Charaf and Muhammed. They are both studying electricity, and will become electricians in Marrakech. Charaf is 18 years old, and is from Marrakech. He plays soccer and when he plays he is #10. Charaf has been studying electrics for 4 months now, and has been coming to the school for about 1 year. He likes Obama, and says that he would like to come to New York if he is able to. Muhammed is 17 years old, and when we asked him what he likes to do, he told us that he likes to have lunch and a short nap. Besides the napping, he enjoys playing basketball and soccer. He has been here for 5 months, and really enjoys it. Once he is done training he hopes to have his own electric company. We did an assignment with them where they had to take a self-portrait, a faceless portrait, and a secret. The following pictures were the ones that they took using our cameras, and with help from us. Some of the pictures were also just pictures that didn't correlate to the assignment, but the boys insisted we used them.
I am nearly left speechless by the extraordinary photographs in the portfolios and by the blog stories. I have both laughed and cried, gasped and sighed. You have captured so much so vividly, the compositions are sophisticated and powerful, the colors nearly tangible.
