This 13 year-old girl was part of a family that sheltered us from the rain in the small village of Sarjagag in Xinjiang, China. Moments after snapping what I thought was an innocent picture of her hugging this white goat, her older brother showed up with a knife. Within two hours, we were seated in a banquet-type setting, eating the poor creature.
This seven year-old girl in Kashgar demanded that I photograph her, practically forcing the other kids in the alleyway out of the frame so she could be the star.
