The Musings of Faith

Imani is finally doing many more reports this year. She is now in 3rd grade so reading her reporting has been fun for me.

This mosque is in Borneo. The gibson monkey lives in Borneo. I did my first report in 3rd grade on gibson monkeys.

O memories :)

Daniele Tamagni was a freelance photographer, on assignment for the Italian magazine Africa, when in 2007 he discovered a group of Congolese men, members of the Society for the Advancement of People of Elegance, dressed to the nines in tailored, brightly hued suits. They mixed a hot pink suit with a red bowler hat, say, or a snow-white suit with a brilliant turquoise shirt. Given the contrast with the poverty around them, Mr. Tamagni said, “I was surprised to see these looks. I come from Milan, and I was interested in fashion, fascinated by their style.” He decided to approach one of them, who introduced him to others in the group. They allowed Mr. Tamagni to take their pictures. In 2008 he returned to Congo, taking more photographs. He has published a book of the images, “Gentlemen of Bacongo,” and has had exhibitions of the photographs. What Mr. Tamagni uncovered along the way was a subculture. “Some people think they are jokers, not serious people,” he said. “But some appreciate the fact that they succeeded at this. They are popular because they are like actors. They are invited to parties because they give an elegant look to them. They are paid to go, like special guests, for weddings, funerals and birthday parties.”

Daniele Tamagni is an amazing photographer. But I think the Gentlemen Of Bacongo is his best work. Next time I’m in New York, I have to go view this exhibit.
