Press Sample


     This month's Destination Duo is taking us on a trip to Morocco! Jin of Superficially Colorful Lacquer took this photo of a traditional water seller in the main square of Marrakesh, Morocco.

Today however, no one uses their water anymore, and they make a fine living out of being paid for taking their pictures... They do carry a glorious past in their gorgeous outfit."
