A Woman in Mongolia

A Woman 

Mongolia

June 2006

 She was standing right outside her yurt, mixing her yak butter milk.  She worked with so much vigor, I could just tell that she was strong.  I nodded to her and then to my camera, hoping she would understand that I wanted to take her photo. She nodded in agreement but then quickly went in to their home and came out a few seconds later. She had completely disrobed and put on a dress so that she would be properly dressed for the photo. She was beautiful.
