Remote Wonders: A Conversation with Elaine Ling

Ling was petite. That didn't stop her from lugging her 4x5 view camera to the most remote places in the world. And she was a doctor. "I love photography and medicine. Doing my Mongolian book, my guide was a Mongolian doctor. He took me around and everywhere we went we connected with doctors in the field. Often they would come with me, so we bumbed along the steppes in a jeep full of singing doctors and mare's milk. We had a great time."
