I processed the film few months after returning from Mongolia. It was the first time one of my photographs surprised me — something abstract to it that I did not control. I tried to get it back, that did not work out. But other things happened. After her morning session milking the yaks, Chimi looks at me, her sister twirls in the back. Near the Zagastain Davaa, or Fish Tail Pass. I used an old Nikon camera with a waist viewer.
In 1998, fresh out of school, I needed to test myself as a photographer and build up my portfolio. My girlfriend and I decided we would cross Mongolia on foot, east to west. For 3 months we hitchhiked and trekked, getting familiar with these vast expanses.
