An outdoor, eye-level wide shot captures an elderly Afghan man, identified as a shoemaker, working on a paved sidewalk in Gundigan Village, Afghanistan. The man, with a long white beard and a white and checkered turban, is dressed in a grey traditional garment and squats facing forward. He is actively engaged in his craft, with his left hand holding a dark shoe and his right hand reaching towards an assortment of tools and materials spread on a dark mat in front of him. These items include spools of various colored thread, small glass jars, plastic containers, a blue plastic bottle, and small hand tools. To his immediate right, a collection of shoes and sandals, along with a black plastic bag, are piled on the ground. The background features a tall, weathered off-white wall exhibiting cracks, stains, and faded blue graffiti with indistinct Arabic script on the upper right. Hung on the wall's left side are several dark-colored tools with colored handles (red, blue, yellow, green), resembling awls or specialized cutting implements. Below these tools, a folded bundle of red, green, white, and black fabric scraps is suspended. A long, dark wooden pole leans against the wall just right of the hung items. The foreground consists of light grey square pavement tiles, with shadows indicating bright daylight conditions.
