Culture Shock of the Day: Though they enjoy being photographed, many Mongolian nomads have never seen a physical photo of themselves.

Enter: Teenagers Vanessa Hollander and Wilson Philippe, who recently went on a ten-day motorcycle tour of the world’s most sparsely populated country, bringing their Fuji Instax Mini with them.

They write:

[E]ach person photographed really prized and protected his or her polaroid (fearing that we wanted to keep it), and barely let us see it when it was developed! the children automatically stored it away once we showed them what was the very first picture of themselves. it was a really great and humbling experience and showed us how much just one photograph can mean to people who have never had one of themselves.
