A rockstar
I was walking through a remote village in Gujarat India when I turned and saw this Rabari girl following me as I took shots. I had just enough time to aim and shoot. She posed, turned and ran away. Rabari are a nomadic tribe in India who're said to have descended from the Huns. They make a living selling wool and clarified butter to urban merchants.
It was later I found out that Rabari girls can be married off when they are as young as 15 months old. Deep down, I wished I had spoken to the girl, found out more about her, and taken up the cause of supporting her education. It would be a drop in the ocean, but well worth it.
