Photo: @rezaphotography // Inspiration from childhood // #China, #Xinjiang (#EasternTurkestan)
I was on assignment for National Geographic on Xinjiang.

In childhood, the experience of reading has an incomparable flavor. For a young reader, words and stories about faraway places are not just a simple invitation to travel, but a call to a horizon freighted with mysteries. Reading about such enthralling locations often then inspires a child to make a secret pact: to go visit these places someday, so that these words, these places are no longer merely black ink on a white page, but become a lived and felt reality. Some texts seem to evoke a bygone era, conjuring up a world that now belongs to history. I am thinking, for instance, of the writings of ancient travelers or of the poems of Sa’adi. Likewise, as I discovered East Turkestan,while on assignment for the National Geographic Magazine, I had the impression of being immersed in the books from my childhood and of traveling through time. Karakol Lake is on the road that separates the city of Kashgar from the tall peaks of the Pamir mountain range. Karakoll means “black lake” in Uygur. A caravan of travelers had stopped for a moment near the icy lake. Glaciers towered nearby. The Pamirs include a hundred glaciers. Muztagata, parallel to the edge of the Pamirs and known as the “father of ice mountains,” reaches 24,757 feet.
