The historic medina of Fez, known as Fez el-Bali, is a warren of 16th century streets, too narrow for cars. Walking them is like going back into time. The swarms of cats underfoot seem to have always been here. I use my spot meter to expose on the sun-splashed wall, allowing the shadows and the human figure to go black. The cats are backlighted. The reflected light on the dark wall at left echoes the rhythmic flow of the windows moving across the main wall from left to right. The mellow light and ancient setting for the abstracted figure reinforce the mood of this place – mysteriously enchanting, with a hint of danger.
