Mongolia Adventure Day 3

This is Day 2 of my recent visit to Mongolia. You can view the photographs I took from Day 1 by clicking the following link, and the photographs from Day 2 by clicking this link.

This is Day 3 of my visit to Mongolia, and unlike Day 2 with my adventure to the desert, this is a new adventure to central Mongolia. It's regions like this that makes my love of travelling a much more joyous experience. Open plains, wild tundra, snow topped mountains, and quaint little settlements, and villages right in the heart of it all... I absolutely love it. As a photographer, it's a dream location to have a photo shoot. And believe me when I say this; the air here is as fresh as air can be! Every breath I take is almost like a detox for my lungs, haha.

Mongolia Adventure Day 2

This is Day 2 of my recent visit to Mongolia. You can view the photographs I took from Day 1 by clicking the following link.
These photographs were captured in the northern part of the Gobi Desert. Even though we were staying in a hotel roughly 60 miles from here, I thought it would be one of my only chances to actually see the desert with my own eyes, let alone have the time to photograph it. In saying that, it was definitely worth the time as it truly is a beautiful sight to behold up close. That said... am I the only one who didn't know Mongolia had camels? I honestly felt like an idiot openly admitting this to my two work colleagues, but I had no clue! Anyway, here is a camel herder and his camels, who I followed around photographing for about 20 minutes. :)

Mongolia Adventure Day 1

For my first post on my new blog I thought I'd start by uploading some of the photos I took on my trip to Mongolia in June. My boss and two other colleagues of mine were given a job to photograph various fashion shows and cultural events currently going on in Mongolia. Although I wasn't one of the photographers involved in the assignment, I was asked to come along as a translator/personal assistant. That said, I don't speak Mongolian, but a number of the people we would be working with can speak Russian and Chinese (two languages I can speak fluently). However, the actual events themselves which we would be doing most of our work is at the end of the week. So my boss gave my two work colleagues and I a chance to capture the beauty of Mongolia when we didn't have a job to do.
Here are some of the photographs I was able to capture on my first day in Mongolia. :)
