GE-C comments:
"This was taken in Freetown, Sierre Leone, where I was born. I went back in 1970 after I'd been at sea for a while and I had this done."

RDN comments:
"This 'dude' photograph is reminiscent of the work of Seydou Keïta and Malick Sidibé, of Mali, whose work and lives have featured in a UK National Portrait Gallery show and a BBC Storyville documentary."
