Photo by Peter Laurenson

What's going on... let me see!’ This inquisitive, bright-eyed, little Muslim 'Top-gun' symbolises the future of his mountain people. Although he lives in an almost medieval village (Hushe in Baltistan, northern Pakistan), he wears a cap advertising a high-tech jet fighter movie! As such, he is being exposed to two entirely different worlds / Nikon F801S, Fuji Velvia slide film, settings not recorded / Winner, photo journalism category, NZAC national photo competition 2004
