Rasheed at the Louvre

Rasheed, passed on by Sumona in Morocco, survived several trips, but was finally put to rest somewhere outside the Louvre last December.

Rasheed in Saidia

Rasheed on Saidia beach midsummer while Josh looks on in jealously. Don't hate Josh, don't hate! Yet, I can understand. It's hard not to be green-eyed towards a man like Rasheed.

Rasheed in Volubilis

Rasheed in front of some Roman columns outside of Meknes dating back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries. My Lonely Planet guide states that the site was settled even earlier by Carthaginian traders. At it's peak, the city housed 20,000 people.

Rasheed in Gafait

Upon ending her service and leaving Morocco in June, Sumona gave me some tea and a priceless gift, a Rasheed Wallace bobbing head doll. Mr. Wallace is one of her favorites on her home state team, da Pistons, and after learning this fact last year, it became a talking point from time to time. As one of the NBA’s most emotional players and recipient of the most technical fouls, he provides constant fodder.

I told Sumona I would take a series of candid photos of Rasheed while traveling around Morocco, to be later collected into a coffee table book. Well, here’s photo #1 of Rasheed taking several months ago. Several more photos have been taken since then and will be posted in the coming weeks.
