THROAT-SINGERS OF AMSTERDAM

This photograph was taken in Amsterdam, Holland. While walking through the city, I came across these Mongolian street performers playing music and throat-singing. The picture is interesting because the musicians are sitting in front of a famous Dutch painting by Vermeer. In actuality, the painting is a poster advertisement for Amsterdam's largest art museum, the Rijksmuseum. Additionally, you can see my reflection in the poster glass. Three nationalities!
