These children were in traditional dress and were being photographed by a professional photographer. I was quite impressed at how patient they were and how they did whatever the parents and photographer asked them to do.

Driving through a small village in Kyrgyzstan we saw these two boys out playing together. When we approached them, they were friendly and happy for us to photograph them and their horse.
