During the Winter, farmers in the Peruvian Andes offer themselves to go and collect food in the nearest city. they take turns. The snow can get so thick it's too dangerous to ride the horses so they have to walk sometimes for miles. This shot was taken in the area of Ausangate, at 4400m (14400ft) as i followed one of these farmers during his journey to a city around 25miles away from home.

Forgot to mention. Shot with an Xt2 + 16-55mm

This is a great shot that truly tells a story. Gives perspective of a foreign life I am not familiar with.

This is so different. Love it
