Thomas Campbell: Seeing Fatima's Eyes

Featured image is reproduced from Seeing Fatima's Eyes: Surf, Life, Stuff, Morocco, North Africa, the new photo book by surfer and self-taught painter, sculptor, photographer and filmmaker Thomas Campbell. Also titled "Fatima's Eyes", it was made in Central Morocco in 2011. Scott Hulet writes, "The country on the northwestern lobe of Africa has always drawn seekers from America and the Continent. Henri Matisse, Paul Bowles, Bill Burroughs, Orson Welles and the Rolling Stones all embraced the freedom, chaos, culture and color of Morocco... The country has been a waystation for the sensualist, the experimenter, and the gridskipper. For expats, the medina was the perfect backdrop for the louche exploration of the decadent, far from the laws and morals of their homelands. Adding the intoxicating splash of surfing to the mix could only take things to a rounded and addictive place."
