Thomas Campbell’s new book is a love letter to Moroccan surfing
Surf, stuff, life and photography — Seeing Fatima’s Eyes celebrates the sights and surf on Morocco’s spectacular coastline.

Like William S. Burroughs and Jimi Hendrix before him, artist, photographer and filmmaker Thomas Campbell has found sanctuary on Morocco’s glittering coastline.

For over twenty years, Campbell has snuck out to Essaouira, Imsouane, Taghazout and beyond to soak up the winter waves that break against the North African shore.

His new photographic essay Seeing Fatima’s Eyes pays tribute to the sights and surf encountered over those two decades, alongside fellow travellers Dan Malloy, Alex Knost, Craig Anderson, Lauren Hill, Dave Rastovich and Ryan Burch.

To celebrate the book’s release, Campbell will be throwing a launch party at Mollusk surf shop, San Francisco on Friday, March 27, 7-10 pm and holding a special surf and skate inspired movie night at Bolinas Community Center, Saturday March 28 from 7pm.

Grab a copy of Seeing Fatima’s Eyes at Um Yeah Arts or any great art bookstore.
