“It was fall, the trees were yellow, I was following a double yellow line in front of me for hours,  I wear a yellow jacket,  I had my yellow shoes in the trunk. Suddenly I had a vision, I stopped the car, put the shoes on the road, snapped a picture and I carried on. It was the yellow trip. Yellow which became a trademark and part of the identity of this project and myself.
A spontaneous picture of my pair of yellow shoes on the yellow lines, for an improvised voyage, dashed off, an impulse, on a whim. Like a piece of Jazz.
How did this come about?

One day when I was spending time in Los Angeles, I realised that I was at 34º02 latitude.
This is the exact same latitude as the city of my birth - Rabat, Morocco: 34.02. 34 was also the amount of years I had been on this planet at the time.
Within a week I was on the road. I decided to trace as if I was a pen the latitude 34 around the globe. I happen to have a camera with me. The rest is in images
