This was to be last trip away before the birth of my son George on the 4th of January 2010. It felt like quite a risk going to the edge of the Sahara knowing that it would take at least 24 hours to get back home... but I got away with it! Fortunately I think it was worth the risk as photographing the desert was everything I had hoped it would be.

The shapes and textures were incredible and the colours the sand took on were amazing. No dodgy filters or photoshop work here - that's just the way it was. After the sands I zipped around the cities of Marakesh, Fez & Casablanca.
