On our way from Fez to the Sahara, we paid a brief visit to the modest log home of a family of semi-nomadic people. They had no electric power or windows -- I made this dual portrait with the light from the single door to the dwelling. Neither woman looks at us, which makes the viewer an observer. The women express a sense of quiet patience – they tolerate our visit with kindness and good grace. The primary subject wears primary red – it warms both the image and the character of the woman who is wearing it. The woman who wears an almost monochromatic sweater recedes into the background, providing context for the primary subject.
