EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the picturesque town of Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia, in 1987, we encounter the wrinkled face of a traffic warden, a man who has spent countless hours ensuring the smooth flow of traffic through the winding streets of this North African gem. His weathered visage bears the marks of time and sun, adding to the character and charm of this portraiture. The traffic warden, dressed in the traditional Tunisian chechia hat and a jacket adorned with a large metal badge, exudes a sense of authority and discipline. His bearded face, creased with lines and furrows, reveals the toll of years spent enforcing the rules of the road. The image captures a moment of quiet contemplation, as if the man is reflecting on the many stories and experiences that have shaped his life. Sidi Bou Said, located on the northern coast of Tunisia, is renowned for its vibrant blue and white buildings, narrow streets, and stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the town, highlighting the role of its traffic wardens in maintaining order and safety for its residents and visitors. The 1980s setting of this image adds an intriguing layer to the photograph, as it captures a moment in time when Sidi Bou Said was still relatively undiscovered by mass tourism. The photograph invites us to explore the rich history and culture of this North African gem, while also celebrating the human spirit and resilience of the people who call it home. This portrait is a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of a moment, to preserve the past, and to transport us to another time and place. It invites us to look beyond the surface, to delve deeper into the stories and experiences that lie beneath the wrinkled face of the traffic warden in Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia.
