Family Portrait

In the Olgii Aimag (province) ethnic Kazakhs outnumber Mongols. The two on my right had bright green eyes. Here, I'm the only one smiling despite having just been lost in a swamp. I had spotted their ger in the distance and stopped to ask where the 'road' was. I had somehow lost track of it.
They asked if I had a camera. Then proceeded to pose their family members in every combination possible. They would all double over laughing at each shot then turn stoneface again for the camera. I think we took about 45 photos.
