"This photo of a nomadic father and his young daughter was taken in the heart of the Mongolian desert, a hundred miles from civilization. We were lucky enough to stay with this kind family while travelling through Mongolia, where every ger (portable tent) is a hotel/restaurant/information centre/doctor/auto-mechanic. They didn't have much but they did have a huge satellite dish to tune into their favorite sport - Japanese sumo wrestling - which they watched on a small TV powered by a rechargeable car battery (that was almost as big as the TV itself!). It was a very special experience and I love the juxtaposition in this photo of the humble home next to such a large symbol of modern technology."
