Paintings from Morocco

The following images are paintings that I created from some of my photos that I took in Fes, Morocco. Getting people shots is very difficult- it is better to ask permission before snapping away and offending them. Sometimes they ask for money to be photographed. The shots of the old blind man making a version of the toothbrush cost me about 5 dirham, which I paid to his family.

The oil paintings were created in photoshop using some amazing tools from Alien Skin Software.
