Men of Sudan

Men are often portrayed as entrepreneurs, capable of physical and mental tasks, intriguing, and thrifty. Often dominant in many societies, respectful in some, but too prone to alcohol and wandering in others. Men have many burdens to bear, often struggling to provide and meet the needs of their family while longing for a better life. Some men are pillars of light, faith, and Godly leading, but others fall short and leave gaps in generations of boys whom are ever searching for manhood, power, and a place in this world.

Wrinkles of time, lines of wisdom and experience.
Godly men leading their flocks.
A young man, trying to figure out his role in this world, eager and expectant.
An island of style and stealth.

Uplifting the Lord while lowering a brother in prayer.

Longing for a good future, but what is in store?

Resting wherever the spot may be, by tree, road, or home.

Rhythms of music and life.
Style amidst austerity.

Age and wisdom, words need not be spoken for stories to be told.
Living day by day, a single, tired face among many.
