EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of two elderly Djerban men, dressed in traditional attire, as they leisurely watch the hustle and bustle of Houmt Souk market in Djerba, Tunisia. The year is 1987, and the men's djellabas, the long, flowing robes, and chechias, the conical hats with a distinctive hood, are emblematic of the North African culture. Their faces, etched with the lines of time, seem to tell stories of a rich and vibrant history. The market, teeming with activity, serves as the backdrop to this intimate moment, where the two men appear to be lost in thought, seemingly oblivious to the world around them. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and timelessness, offering a glimpse into the past and the unique traditions of Tunisia. This portrait, taken in 1987, is a testament to the enduring beauty and charm of the people and culture of Djerba.
