The Story Behind the Photo

Shaun, a friend of East Indian descent, invited my friend Mike and me over to his place.  Mike brought his sitar, and after a brief breakdown of the instrument, handed it over to Shaun.  Mike showed Shaun how to hold it in a sitting position and it looked so natural that I had to capture it.  The funny part, of course, is that Mike (who is non-brown) was showing Shaun (clearly brown) how to play an Indian instrument.
