Sharpshooter
Western Mongolia 2013
The Uriankhai men dominated the archery contest at the Eagle Festival. Their colorful deels (knee-length robes) and hats made them look like Asian Emperors.
The man in the orange deel was a champion archer. The families behind him admired his skill and stayed to watch him compete. Look at the face of the boy on the left in the photo. He knows he is watching an expert. His expression is nothing short of sheer joy.
