I took this picture of a shepard in Western Kazakhstan in Feb. 2004. I own the picture. This man lives in the steppe south of Aktobinsk, western Kazakhstan. He leaves in a small farm house with electricity but no water. He owns quite a few goats and sheep and 2 camels that I know off. He was very happy to have his picture taken. In February 2004 when I took the picture he was on his horse watching over his herd and was most likley going to spend the day sitting on his horse like this. We were driving by on our way to Aktobinsk and he left his herd for a while to come and talk to us. He carries a gun to kill any wolf who tries to get to his herd, a common problem in that area.
