great picture! but its a bendir, not a tambourine....... a bendir is a frame drum.... shaped like a tambourine......

the only reason im not 100 percent sure is there is another frame drum, the tar, which is just like the bendir, but doesnt have any snares inside of it [ if it was kinda buzzing when it was playing, it was a bendir....] im like 99.9 % sure its a bendir! lol

There is something in his stance and gaze that says he's done this a millions times, like it's so routine that he has the time to look around too.. Great Capture!

Here's me thinking that great, luminous lighting is at dawn & sunset, and you take this glowing pic just after lunch!
I hope National Geographic are watching!

No he was not blind, but I think he did have something wrong with his eye; thank you very much
