I am pleased to announce the publication of three of my pictures in the October 2011 edition of ‘The Atlantic’ magazine.
These are the pages with the article, which is not from me, together with my pictures from my journey across the Mediterranean from Tunis to Marseilles this summer.
The online Picsean Travel Magazine published a section on Cape Town, South Africa in their December edition. In this article they published five of my pictures from my recent trip to Cape Town in February 2010.
My pictures are also featured on their South Africa website.
The latest edition of “Exposition“, an Oxford University magazine, features several of my Star Wars’ Mos Espa pictures. The front cover shows two of the vaporators in Mos Espa, which lies in the Tunisian desert north-west of Tozeur. Click on the images to get a larger view.
Some background information for those of you who are not so familiar with Star Wars and Mos Espa:
Mos Espa was a spaceport on Tatooine. It was the home of Anakin and Shmi Skywalker and also held the famous Mos Espa Grand Arena, at which the annual Boonta Eve Classic podrace was held, and the location of Watto’s shop.
Designed around a central market place, Episode I’s Mos Espa is much, much larger than Episode IV’s Mos Eisley. Just outside Tozeur, Tunisia, the production crew assembled several key avenues of the marketplace, using sculpted foam and plaster around wire mesh frames to make lightweight Tatooine architecture.
On July 28, 1997, much of the Mos Espa set was dashed apart by a furious rainstorm. Producer Rick McCallum quickly rearranged the shooting schedule to take advantage of the sets that still stood while the construction crew dilligently worked to rebuild the wreckage. This skillful troubleshooting resulted in the Tatooine sequences being finished on schedule without losing a single day.
My Rally picture of the Bowler Wildcat Rally car of the Cummins France Team with Patrick Sireyjol and Denis Comte on board was published in the Canadian newspaper The Fitzhugh. The picture was taken during the Super Stage of the 28th Rallye Oilibya de Tunisie 2010, which was held on the beach of Gammarth, Tunisia on the afternoon of 1st May 2010. The next morning the participants started the seven-day rally to southern Tunisia to finish on 7th May in Douz.
A few minutes ago I received the wonderful news that this panorama, which I shot of the Medina of Tunis last November, has received the “Bronze Award” in the Category: “The Built Environment (including architecture)” at the 2010 Epson International Photographic Pano Awards.
