Photographic Memories #9

January 19, 2021 /

As every traveller knows, when you look back through old travel photos, many of them trigger wonderful memories. With no current prospect of travel even domestically let alone worldwide, we will have no new adventures to blog, but we do have many such memories…..

Photo #9: The Lost Tomato

Look closely at this photograph and you will spot that Michaela caught the precise moment that a tomato fell from its stacked trailer, and in the moment of the shot it is suspended in mid air just above the ground. Of course, you can’t capture shots like this intentionally, only by coincidence of timing. The original aim of the photo was in fact to showcase the clash of old and new methods of transport in this Marrakech traffic jam; only when we studied the photo later did we realise the moment she’d actually caught on film.
