Fes and the Middle Atlas

I'm wrapping up my trip to Morocco with some images of Fes and the Middle Atlas mountains. A pretty amazing experience, and a little daunting at the same time. We stayed at the beautiful Dar Roumana, right in the medina, and were well taken care of by Vincent, the chef and manager, and Mohammed, the assistant manager.

Fes is the second largest city of Morocco with a population of about a million. We stayed in the ancient medina of Fes el-Bali, a labyrinth of over 9000 streets and it's car-free. Nothing but donkeys and motorbikes. This post is picture heavy so grab a drink....

The views from our riad, Dar Romana. Perfect spot to hang out. 

I don't think I'll forget the tanneries. I will never look at leather the same way again. This really has to be one of the hardest jobs out there.

Loved having the chance to see these men weave. By the way, I never just took a picture without asking. It didn't hurt to leave a few dollars as well.

Home in the Mountains

I had the pleasure of shooting Trevor Linden's Whistler home for House and Home. For Canuck hockey fans, you'll know Trevor ;)  The interior was designed by Evoke International Design, and prop styling for this shoot was done by Maureen Willick.

Staircase envy. 

Love the mix of materials in this space. It's a modern spin on the mountain cabin.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!

I hope you've all had a good week. It's been a bit of a bonkers week, so my apologies for missing my usual "baked" post. I'll be back in action next week! 

Take care,
