THREE YEARS IN TUNISIA
All photographs ©2008 James Leggate. All rights reserved.
When I first went to Tunisia I photographed camels in the Sahara and blue and white doors by the Mediterranean. Living there however I began to see other details and colours and felt the country’s special charm. It made me sad to think that the Muslim and my non- Muslim world didn’t know and appreciate each other better. It is pleasing therefore when ‘en regardant’ these photos people forget for a moment about politics and religion and smile at the ‘familiarity’ of the children reading books at school, old men having a chuckle together and the motherly expression of the woman veiled in green. I’m satisfied too when people just simply acknowledge the natural beauty of the long haired young girl and the serene spirituality of the red veiled girl sitting in the doorway and admire the peaceful landscapes and interesting architecture and lifestyle.
