Great work combining two images in one, the pensive musician and the waiting audience in the sunshine, giving us an insight into what he sees. V

Terrific portrait of the griot. Wonderful colors and great reflection in the shades. His hair looks like the strands of a shag rug lol! V

The glasses furnish an interesting view of the world, albeit compressed! Almost like having a 180 degree fisheye, only more dramatic.
