Eating a warm chocolate chip cookie just out of the oven with a cold glass of milk, looking out my window at cold sun on bare branches, and enjoying your wonderful photo of smiling scamp half-way across the world. This is why the internet was invented.

Must confess, I’m a bit shocked at some of the comments directed at your Moroccan photos: do people expect these shots to have beautiful, expensive clothes and the subjects to look like models? Its MOROCCO people: its a third world country, like much of the rest of the world right now. This is what they wear; this is how they look. Appreciate the lessons in each photo: they are quite beautiful and revealing of a culture much different, and in some ways better, than ours.

I like the composition of this photo. Even though it’s not ‘high fashion’ by the usual standards, it’s what the people wear in their everyday life. It’s the ‘street fashion’ of the area. I find it interesting, and it’s nice to have a glimpse of their life. This young man has a warm, generous smile. Thank you, Scott, for a different perspective.

This is a BEAUTIFUL photo ! His smile is amazing and his donkey just lovely. I am also shocked at people’s reactions to these GREAT photos of people living their lives! I like that all the shots show people actually WORKING, LIVING — it is important to remember that we are all involved in LIVING and making the most of our days–regardless of what we chose to wear !!! THANKS for posting these and PLEASE don’t stop.
p.s. also, i hope you took a polaroid camera and that you are giving your “subjects” a photo of themselves in return for posing.

the simple fact that your photos from morocco provoke such a controversy can only show us how annoying it is for some people to see images of the real world.

These Moroccan photos are so refreshing! These are people who really have to make their clothes *work*, who still have some connection to their locality (rather than a far-away factory in Italy or China), and who represent, in a most down-to-earth fashion how most of the world lives — and happily! Look at these shining faces. Kudos to Scott for not excluding these very interesting folk.

The stripes on the donkey’s forelegs catch my eye. I can’t tell if they’re beautiful natural striation, scars, or marks of faithful, good work, or all three. I don’t know if they’re beautiful, sad, or noble. His face is the same. Wonderful, lovely, poignant donkey.

I’m surprised at some of the negative reactions these wonderful pictures of Morocco are getting. This IS mostly the street fashion there. So duh, it has a place on The Sartorialist.
This picture made me smile. That donkey is absolutely adorable, and the guy looks so refreshingly, genuinely happy. I love this one!

These photographs of Morocco, although beautiful, do not belong on this blog, as it’s tantamount to trivializing or commodifying the plight of these people.

These photos of your wonderful trip to Morocco has been exciting and the locals are what’s inspiring. The carelessness of their looks are happiness drives one with envy, because we all need it. I love this photo makes me smile and looking at this young boy reminds me fashion is a myth we don’t need it, yet we choose it. I would love it if you checked out my blog, I have interesting fashion posts you might love to read.

That’s a beautiful portrait.
As for the fashion-only crowd… please tell me you’re not serious. This blog isn’t just about fashion. It’s a chance to see the world through another pair of eyes (and a few lenses). Mr. Schuman is a gifted photographer, and while I certainly enjoy seeing and discussing the clothing content of most of his photos, I also greatly enjoy the photos themselves, both for their aesthetic qualities and the way they allow me to experience, if only for a moment, how someone else perceives the world.

THESE PICTURES ARE SOOO INSPIRING!!!! I am uplifted by the simple complexity in each photo (Morrocco). Each photo has its own narrative (well, that I create). None of them likely true because of my own cultural ignorance, but I am inspired. THIS is street fashion. I am so sick of the waif-like models with drab colors and sullen faces. THIS is why your blog drew me in. NOT the boring runway culture. There is inspiration in the beauty of everyday life.
ps. you need a like and love button, but since there isn’t one. I would like to “love” the comments from: h, maria and Habiba.J
