"Belek! Belek!"
© 2014 Rob Castro
In the Old Medina at Fes, if you hear "Belek! Belek!" behind you, stand aside because a heavily-laden donkey is bearing down on you. I was told by a local store owner that the word Belek comes from the root Bel, which means the mind. Hence, literally the cry of "Belek" is calling your attention - or calling to mind. More fascinating for me is that Moroccans don't have the letter B in their alphabet that to my untrained ears I hear "Puh-lak" instead. Our local guide warned us that if we don't heed, then we will be "Fuh-lat" or flat.

No filters, no deception, no masks. This is me, in my most authentic and necessary form.
To those watching: before commenting, take a deep breath. Exhale. And if what you have to say isn't intelligent or doesn't add value to the truth of this shot... then be quiet.
Art is oxygen, but silence, sometimes, is even better. Only truth, only BNNRRB.

Pen en waterverf op 29,7x42cm papier.
Voor mijn 'Keti Koti Project'. Met dit, langer lopende project, wil ik aandacht geven aan en vragen voor de herdenking van het afschaffen van de slavernij door Nederland in 1873. Het liefst zou ik zien dat er een nationale feestdag voor zou komen, waarbij we met elkaar kunnen terugkijken én vooruitkijken, helen en vieren.
Ik werk in de maand juni 2021, voorafgaand aan Keti Koti 2021 (1 juli), in CBK Zuidoost, enkele dagdelen per week, aan een serie portretten van mensen die ik een jaar geleden tijdens Keti Koti heb aangesproken en mocht fotograferen. Die foto's ben ik nu aan het uitwerken, op papier, met pen en waterverf. Tegelijkertijd verzamel ik teksten van mensen, waarin ze beschrijven hoe ze Keti Koti ervaren / ervaren hebben, hier in Nederland of in Suriname.

Between December 16, 2012 and January 3, 2013, I met some of the most beautiful people in the Philippines. This is part of the series that documents their stories. The title "Bukas Na Kami" is a play on words in the Pilipino language. It could either mean "We are open" or "Tomorrow it's us." I'll let the viewers decide which translation they like.
Message me if you are interested in the book. Thanks.

Chapter 4: Shut It Out - When you shut things out, most of it goes away - except for a lingering discomfort ... of betrayal. Who can you trust? Who is fair? Who is kind? Who has empathy? The lack of decorum is disgraceful. You keyboard warriors and trolls; You screen shooters and virtual gossips - Are you this way In Real Life? Or do you skulk away in a corner? Regardless. I shut you out.

Our tour guide took us to the famous Berber Pharmacy in Marrakech. The ladies in our group had a blast shopping for argan oil and cosmetics. After a few minutes, I decided to saunter off outside and there I met Mahmoud, a Moroccan jewelry vendor.
Mahmoud: Nice jewelries. Cheap. Please buy.
Juzno: Sorry, I don't wear jewelries.
Mahmoud: Nice jewelries. Cheap. Please buy. Real cheap. I make you a good deal.
Juzno: Tell you what, I'll take your picture and pay you. Okay?
Mahmoud: Okay. You sure you don't want to buy jewelries?
Juzno: No. [Click. Click.] Here's five dirhams.
Mahmoud: You took two photos. You owe me ten dirhams.
Juzno: I told you I was going to pay you. I didn't say how much. You just agreed.
Mahmoud: You wanna buy nice jewelries?

Berliner Pflanzenwelt auf Blau
These flora portraits, were born out of an awareness of my own loneliness, so the making of them has forced me out of the house more often. After twelve years of doing little else, they have become my passion and delight. I now exhibit them in Berlin and London and in group shows around Europe.
These photographs are all daylight, made in city green spaces, with virtually no post processing. They are cooked in the camera.
When I look back at my pictures I always think, look at what I would have missed if I wasn't looking through my camera.
“As if you were on fire from within.
The moon lives in the lining of your skin.”

Hope your having a great day.
