Something North African is brewing.. between our hot weather here and what I like to imagine resemble "sandstorms" during fire season, there is just something in the air... and perhaps these little golden grains have slowly floated on the heavy warm air and settled on some red tiles, looking down at an Andalusian fountain in the courtyard below, and wondering how they can get back to their beloved North Africa....If you are in/around SoCal, visit the adorable little Fowler museum of cultural history for two North African exhibits: Liminal Spaces Black & White Photography in Morocco by Rose-Lynn Fisher. Hmm... methinks I mentioned this exhibit in an earlier post.. anyways, it's definitely worth checking out. I liked it. A lot. Some of my fav pics: "Cousins," Berber mother holding son and picking dates from a palm tree, and the arched hallway in shadows in Al-Badi palace.. A new exhibit opening this weekend focuses on Touareg art and culture. Swing by the opening this Sunday if you can - and fill me in! Details: Art of Being Tuareg: Sahara Nomads in a Modern World: Sunday, October 29, 2-4 pm, Free
Followed by a musical performance by the Nigerian Touareg band Tidawt 4 pm, Fowler Amphitheatre
Calendar Check 'em out folks!!

My favorite photograph from Rose-lynn is that of Sidi Rahhal! It's an incredible shot!!!! and to be able to see it framed in large size is a wish. Regardless of the Sidi Rahhal, or the concept of the saint, I believe the landscape from that viewpoint carries serenity and invitation to reflect. The shot is the medium for what that landscape so need to tell us but is so silent.
