Tibetan Farmer Boy

This might possibly be my most favorite picture I've ever been able to grab. I was on my way to see Mt. Everest and this boy and his family were out harvesting their crops by hand. I stopped and offered some chocolate. The boy accepted.

 

Ironically, I had just acquired a Canon L series lens for this trip -- yet for this picture I used the cheapest lens I have (50mm 1.8).

 

This is one of those photos that I'll remember the rest of my life.
