Text book rigging my friends! His choice of socks was a perfect one…look at the way it keeps the eyes moving up smoothly, all the way to his face! Great composition from photographer’s perspective, too!
Funny the pants r flood length..what affected guy wear now..i wonder if his is a mistake and in toooo short but i love how he look all dress up for church
What stunning, serious and perfect style and expression. I wish people dressed like this today.
Don’t know about Africa, but he could have very well fitted in the cubism periods of Prague with this tie and socks.
I wish I could know more about when and where in North Africa this was taken and who the photographer was.. fascinating. Was he posing for a formal portrait or is this a candid capture?
This reminds me of this exhibit in a NY gallery a few years ago: http://www.westwoodgallery.com/past_mansouri.html

It’s amazing the waist on the jacket is so high and the trousers so short – very interesting proportions.
