I realized that displaying two unrelated images on the same page (even better side by side) could significantly improve each photograph. This is common knowledge for people who design photo books but there is no better way to learn then to have your own experience.
Orvieto, Italy, March 2011
Marrakech, Morocco, December 2010
Fez tannery is the only place in Morocco where I chose telephoto 70mm instead of the wide angle 21mm. We were escorted to the elevated balcony. Taking pictures from the top is not ideal for candids but using camera’s viewfinder and having freedom to wait for interesting moment was very refreshing after close range of the Fez alleys.

In the previous post I described some technical challenges for candid photography in Morocco.
I had my own share of missed opportunities due to technical misjudgment or just sloppiness.
Sometimes, I found interesting artistic expression in obviously ruined shots.
When I was taking pictures of doors I used low shutter speed. I forgot my camera was still on this setting.
Overexposed, blown-out highlights occurred from not adjusting exposure after walking in a deeply shaded narrow street.
I failed to change focus when this man moved towards me.
