I peeked out the tent to see this. We hadjust trekked up Tsast Uul, one of the highest mountains in Mongolia. You would think we were alone, but in Mongolia horse riders would spot our tent from miles away and spontaneously stick their heads inside, just like we would walk into their gers.
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 three months we hitchhiked and trekked, getting familiar with these vast expanses.
