Rochester Magazine selects Long Moroccan Market

Captivating travel scenes in Rochester Magazine's 5th annual community photo issue. This year, they invited local photographers to show the world through their eyes.

Rochester Magazine received an unprecedented number of submissions, capturing scenes near and far.

In choosing which to feature, They aimed for a variety of locations, subject matter, mood and approach.

Joann K. Long's image was a Moroccan Market: "As a chaperone for my son’s high school foreign language school trip, we experienced the diverse culture of Morocco. The vibrant market attracted me to this impromptu street image. I chuckled as the woman was talking to the man and the man seemed to be quite oblivious." Joann K. Long, based in Bloomfield, enjoys traveling internationally.
