I made this picture of a Wakhi boy on his horse in Chipursan Valley, Hunza, northern Pakistan. This fertile valley region is home to the Wakhi people – prosperous, well educated, and self-sufficient farmers of grain, potatoes, vegetables, meat and dairy, with a profitable export market for disease-free seed potatoes.
Ubaid studies engineering, speaks perfect English, showed me around the valley and then took me home for a lunch of naan, eggs, potatoes and tea. A very cool kid!
