Hi Josh, and thank you soo very much for the gracious permission. I soo love the atmosphere and I have also found out that the blue paint is used to ward off evil. I will definitely post any pics that I use and let you know with recorded that your photography was my source. To capture the people in nature is I feel an important part of recording history as they are such deep and Spiritual people whom mostly have lived much closer to nature than we of the western world do. One only has to look at the huge tragedy that tsunami wave swept around the Asian world!! Beyond words to even comprehend. One is just sooo humbled and we all that have any form of wealth, must reach out and help in whatever way possible so that they get the urgent help needed!! It is a disaster beyond any of those horror Hollywood movies. The world needs to look after it's people and now we all must band together and help out these people whose worlds have just been devastated! The war of nature is just the most devastating power. Peace not war! so to photograph the people Josh....is such a beautiful gift to the world and it enables we who can't get there....a glimpse of something just truly beautiful...and in it's natural simplicity.."the momentary capture of a beautiful Spirit living and loving in that moment of time"!! Never hesitate ....get the nerve so that life is preserved and recorded Josh. The photos of Chile shall be beautiful...and the one place in the world...when anybody asks me....where would you go.? "Machu Pichu"....withou t a shadow of a doubt!! Takes my breath away...and the culture and knowledge of the people, awesome!! No doubt you left a part of your heart in those lands that you have visited...especially Chile and I look forward to your posting. Let me know...they don't have favorites lists long enough for me to keep up with all that happens with all the peoples pics that I love!!. ...Thanks Josh...and have a fabulous New Year...Kind regards...Em from Aussie ..p.s. What's with the I'm from New Jersy and I don't like you' message in your main comments...??..LOL!!Enlig hten me plzz.??..Em

HI there, This is Em from Aussie here, and Chefchaouen is a beautiful place far from the maddening crowd!! Wonderful photos and beautiful shots of the buildings as in Still Life. Stunning photos and still life describes it perfectly as it is wrapped in it's peace!! Lovely that you showed a big pic of the town and aren't the streets just a delight!! No cars...and the ornate beauty of the Moroccan culture!! I have been searching for and looking through albums of Morocco over the past day and I have found some wonderful culture and beautiful captures of the stunning alleyways, ornate doors and windows and the artistic people!! Loved the shot of the tatoo being applied...and if I was there I would get one too!! How fortunate and eyeopening a trip that would be to go to these beautiful places!! The madness of the cities of modern man....are not even to be considered!! I have asked a couple of other Webshots people whose photos I have just loved because of the captured beauty....if I could have permission to paint from some of your photos in combination with the people of these lands. I would be completely honored...and absolutely delighted to encapture some of this wonderful culture on canvas!! It has taken me for all my kids to have grown...for this deep passion to be released..and it is running...!! Plzz let me know...as I would be totally elated!! Hope you have and Wishing you a Wonderful Christmas and an Excellent New Year....Take care and thanks for sharing this beauty from Morocco.!!...Em from Aussie
