post a commentthese are absolutely beautiful portraits, a man of the cloth looking spiffy and confident. i love how diverse your blog is, within the same theme.
Amen Sart - you are preaching to the converted!
wow. a collar pin. now that is attention to detail. I saw the nun's story last week and noticed one there, too, and it looked equally neat and stylish.
want.
Is he an usher at the church? My grandpa does the same thing and looks just as dapper as this gentleman (although my granpa puts a touch more color in his Sunday Bests).
Thanks, Sart!
mltt
Wonderful pic. You can't beat capturing a time when elegance and personal style were not uncommon. One can only hope that as he ages to be as well put together and crisp as this gentleman. Love the collar pin and tie clip.
if i hadn't realized the importance of looking sharp in the face of casual fridays, this post would start me thinking about how these guys have taken such pride in their appearance for such a long time. i venture that sunday's are not the only days this guy looks so put together.
Such beautiful shots! I'm happy so many wonderful people agree to have their portraits taken by you.
Wow-
Curley was one of the elevator operators in the 1980s at my high school in Brooklyn (it was 13 stories tall!). He was always super nice. Amazing to see him here! He had to wear a uniform when he was at my school, but here he looks really dapper.
I've never commented on one of your photos before, but this one particularly struck me. This man exudes so much confidence and pride in himself that it just spills out of my computer screen. Simply fantastic.
What a great shot -- here's a man who understands that when you're in church, you show some respect. Classic.
You are often in Harlem on Sundays--are you going to church or are you going to a gospel brunch or just plain brunch somewhere? Or shopping or what? And how do you travel so much & stay sane? Your wife must be a really nice, really cool lady.
Whatever you do there on Sundays, I love it. Go to Abyssinian some Sunday and get some shots of the folks; you'll be in sartorial heaven!
Probably if you walked past him,you wouldn´t even notice him.This photograph makes him notisable.
So good...
This dude is clean as the Board of Health!
What I particularly love about both of the Harlem portraits is the personality of the subjects, which is so apparent in their dress and demeanor. At a time when so many choose to be sloppy, and at an age where they could get away with wearing whatever they want, they've both chosen to look sharp because they're proud of who they are and the lives they've led. There are whole worlds within these photographs. Thanks for sharing them with us, Sart.
while i absolutely love your shots of fashionista europeans, i am so, so glad that you're back in NYC.
You can't buy that kind of elegance, that posture of dignity and respect. Classy. Timeless style and elegance which is not for sale.
This gentleman isn't an usher, but a deacon. He is charged, as a deacon, to wear a black suit, white shirt, black tie, on 1st and 3rd Sundays. You can best-well believe that this young man wouldn't be seen in anything less on the respective Sundays. He reminds me very much of the deacons in the church that I grew up in. Many African-Americans escaped the Jim Crow South in the 40's, 50's, and 60's, and their wonderful style infiltrated places like Harlem, Detroit, Chicago, Philly, etc.
I'm sure that this youngster was no different. The church gave these men a sense of belonging and something to represent. It beams through their confidence and the way they don their duds.
I want to applaud this blog's diversity. You never fail to impress me with your eye for not only fashion, but the confidence and swagger that it takes to be a true man of style.
another distinguished gentleman.
such a beautiful portrait.
As a resident of Harlem, it's nice to see some of the locals on your blog. I opted to live here, rather than SoHo, Billyburg, or the LES, because it's beyond stylish and not at all obvious. Cheers and Props to you and the stylish residents of Harlem.
There is this mormon church in my city, and the guy who hands out pamphlets on Sundays has the best Sunday Best ever. The Harlem priests remind me very much of them.
That phrase 'a perfect gentleman' comes to mind.
This potrait just got my biggest smile of the day. Guaranteed.
AMEN to great style!
If this man told me to sit down, listen to my mother, and not skimp on my offering to the collection, there is *no way* I would sass him or disobey.
Actually, I'd probably be on my best behavior already, because he, in his wonderful suit, sets the tone. "In this church," it says "we behave with dignity."
This is around the corner from my apartment! You were in my neighborhood! I see him all the time and he always looks dapper.
A gentleman to the core.
Praise
I do love this man ! So chic ..
this is one of my favorite sartorialist shots/profiles of all time. well-spotted.
This gentlemen wihtout a doubt exudes the confidence every man should harness. I absolutely love the way he has his tie kinked out.
Love this!
