كوفية شماغ‎ - shemagh / self portrait december 2007

please view on black: [link]

The keffiyeh (Arabic: كوفية, kūfīya; plural: كوفيات, kūfīyāt) is also known as a shemagh or yashmag and is a traditional headdress of Arab men, made of a square of cloth ("scarf"), usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand.

just a question , the title had a meaning ?

The black release is great, a little bit too classic, but amazing.

Excellent portrait, dramatic lighting, steely gaze, the hand position adds mystery to the shot. Very nice!

The keffiyeh (Arabic: كوفية, kūfīyä; plural: كوفيات, kūfīyāt) is also known as a shemagh or yashmag (شماغ, šmāġ;), a ghutra (غترة, ġuträ;) or a hatta (حطّة, ḥaṭṭä;), and is a traditional headdress of Arab men, made of a square of cloth ("scarf"), usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand.
