Description
Beautiful morning light and shadows on a worker who smokes a cigarette while working in a dye vat at a leather tannery in the medina of Fes (Fez), Morocco. Here, goat, sheep, cow, and camel hides are soaked in vats of various solutions, some to soften the hides and others to dye them colors made from natural ingredients. The production of leather goods at the tannery is done with all manual labor and no modern equipment, and the methods have remained unchanged since medieval times.
