This is my longest project. 

Frequently, I visit my wifes family in mongolia. A part of her family does still live as nomads in the endless width of the mongolian deserts. 

 

Thanks to my close emotional bonds I have the chance to take pictures that are closer and more intimate then what visitors may see. The life of the nomads is very tough and full of deprivation, but they are incredibly free and proud people. 

I will post more pictures as my project moves on.
