A long exposure of a tabla solo, taken as the tihai ended. The player's hands and both tabla drums are streaked sideways by the motion.

Tabla, in Motion

This was another event at Medai, in July 2025, a tabla solo. I wanted to bring out the soul of the tabla player rather than a sharp record of his hands, so I let the exposure run and took the frame as the tihai ended, with his hands and both drums streaked by the motion.
