Archer, Naadam Festival, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia — July 12, 2006

It has always been a hobby of mine to try and mimic the photo on the cover of the Lonely Planet guidebooks for the countries that I am traveling in. In most situations, this is impossible because of a mixture of limiting variables including remote locations, lighting and mere shyness of the subject. In this case though, I saw a remarkable opportunity to copy the teacher and above is the result of my effort.
