The studio photography of Rashid Mahdi, who owned Studio Mahdi in Khartoum, Sudan.

Most of the images were taken sometime between 1940 and the 1970s.

The pictures are really gorgeous.

Local photo studios are a treasure trove of images from the past.
Glimpses of moments in time...
Reminders that while sometimes the past feels like a different country, it& #39;s also familiar in many ways
That the past is a part of the process that brought us to the here and now
I wonder where they are now, and how their lives moved forward from this instant?

What was that day like, in their memory?

Could they have imagined we& #39;d see them like this, decades later?
Khartoum, 1971.
