A blind accordionist at a market in a regional small town in Tajikistan, in the Wakhan Valley, across the Panj river from Afghanistan.

The people here are poor, and subsistence farmers

Wishing you a peaceful and happy Friday, and a really fulfilling weekend

A great shot Diana. I was going to say 'candid' but I presume you left him a few coins. As I too play the accordion I have special pleasure at hearing and seeing these buskers and in this case I feel a real sympathy to him being blind (not that it stops you playing great music on these) but more so because the accordion is obviously damaged, being two white keys short (B & C) so limiting his repertoire. ⭐ Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Thank you Herb. I left him money, of course. It is a poor, subsistence area, so I am sure instruments are hard to find, maintain and repair. I found it very moving to watch and listen.

This is such a wonderful and sensitive portrait, Diana!
I appreciate the stillness of this moment and the way the accordionist seems to be completely submerged in himself and his music.

Very best wishes for the rest of today and for the weekend. ox
