The streets in Marrakesh’s medina (walled city) are narrow, and there are many intersections within this labyrinth of ancient lanes. As I was crossing one of these intersections, I saw this motorbike bearing down on me. I instinctively made the shot and jumped out of the way. When I looked at the image, I was stunned to see that the driver had no face or identity. Neither did the man at left who steps to one side to let the cycle move past. My spot meter had read the bright light and darkened the rest of the image accordingly. The image is much more effective as an abstraction than it would be if we could see all of its detail. Both man and bike are far more threatening as mysterious shadows – which force our imaginations into overdrive.
