DESCRIPTION
In a very windy day in Mongolia I met Sirimbek a young Kazakh and a future eagle hunter. When I saw him I immediately asked to photograph him. He has an amazing facial expression. The eagle hunters’ tribe is living in the western Mongolia on the mountains near Ulgi city. From there we drove about 40 Minutes. We stayed 3 days at one of the family’s place and learned their ways of life. They prepared for us their traditional meal: Beshbarmak which means 5 fingers in Turkish. It’s a meal of different meat eaten by hand. AUTHOR
