Muhammad al-Kahki, Sheikh of the Mosque of Sulayman Pasha. His tomstone, which is modern, lists his death as AH10 (or 631/2 CE) which does not align with either the dates of the tomb (16th cent), or the Mosque, built in 1528.

40 Years Ago Today...Smokin' Joe Frazier won a unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden against Muhammad Ali to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. It was the Fight of the Century and the first of the 3 Frazier/Ali Fights. This photograph was taken in February of 2009 shortly after an interview I had with the Champ at his Boxing Gym on North Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
It's an old photo that I discovered on my travels in a pub in Kerry. I have no idea who the first hand photographer was, but I added filters and did a little bit of work just to clean it up a little as it was taken through a glass frame. Intend to do a wee bit more as I gather more tips.
The shot shows Muhammad Ali displaying his skills with a hurley stick and slither.
I imagine that it may have been taken in Kerry and given the hurling tradition of that County and the subject matter, I'd suspect that the men looking on may possibly be associated with the County team, although I am unsure.
As I have said I am unaware of who took the picture first hand but the picture of the picture is mine - if you get my drift.
There are no pleasures in a fight but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win.

Step 6 - Add some white to the background then, using your meagre skills at skin tone and having no reference pic to go from (other than the photo of your dad’s pencil sketch), colour the face in and try to make it look at least a little convincing. Hmmm. You’ll have to try a little harder than that.
Step 4 - Have a harebrained idea about taking this piece next level by having it as three murals in one and then proceed to attempt to make this idea a reality. Constantly question whether it will work or just be an immense waste of your time. Add some detail to the hair area then try to take some classy shots. This could be as good as it gets. Really go for it and include the cat if you can and any other arty shots you can manage.

Photographer Michael Brennan’s iconic portrait of Muhammad Ali, “1977,” is a picture of an instant: 1/125th of a second to be precise. "I had attempted this picture on numerous previous occasions, with no success,” Brennan recalls. His patience ultimately paid off. Somehow, in mid-September of 1977, as Ali prepared for his upcoming match with Earnie Shavers the fighter revealed himself to Brennan’s camera, and the result became not only a famous portrait in its own right, but also the most important portrait of Muhammad Ali ever taken. In an instant, the qualities that made Ali an icon -- to boxing fans and to African Americans – were immortalized by a single snap of Brennan’s lens. Muhammad Ali’s famous determination and self-assurance are all there, shining through his handsome features.
“I don't have to be what you want me to be,” Ali once stated, “I'm free to be what I want.” Michael Brennan’s epic photographic portrait echoes that sense of fierce independence. The portrait is important for the same reason that Muhammad Ali legacy is important: it tells us something about the strivings of all men for dignity. An example of the “1977” Portrait of Muhammad Ali is housed in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery - Smithsonian Institute.
