Sufi Music at its finest



Ustad Ghulam Farid Nizami held it down for three hours
last Saturday night. Check out the full set of photos
on Flickr here
This music takes one deep into the soul. The editing of these photos reflects that, I've dramatized each picture and emphasized the dark blues. Visually at first the photos, and the setting, did not seem too deep. Fairly bright indoor lighting, off-white carpeting and window shades, and the stillness inherent in the photograph all contribute to not really expressing the feeling of being in the presence of this inspiring human performance. My hope is that through selection and editing, this photo set does convey some of the magic of what it was like to be there.
