Donkey rider, Ouirgane, Morocco, 2006

Visitors to the small village of Ouirgane in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains enjoy riding donkeys along its slopes and into its picturesque valleys. The donkey riders come in all sizes, and this one is probably the smallest. Her tiny figure on the large donkey is incongruous in scale. She is too young to hang on – the donkey driver constantly holds her tiny body on to the big blanket that covers the donkey’s back. The human values of vulnerability, support, fear, and perhaps delight, all come to mind.
