Great piece and fantastic photos. Since I picked up photography again during the pandemic, I've logged some amazing landscape photos during my travels around the globe. However, I've shied away from doing a lot of portraits and people photography, mostly because I'm just not sure how to engage with the locals. If you ask to take their picture, the shot looks stilted and like some generic Facebook selfie. If you take it on the sly, you run the risk of causing a kerfuffle. Last year, I took a photo of a guy in a Berber village in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. He was crossing a footbridge over a white water stream and carrying a load of sticks and firewood over his shoulder. I snapped a few photos. He spotted me and immediately started yelling. I wasn't sure of the words he was saying, but the intent needed no translation. Then to my surprise, as soon as he made it across the bridge, he started chasing me. I was able to dash away thanks to the load he was carrying, but it was an unintentional, disturbing incident. I asked our guide about it, and he apologized for not mentioning that the Berbers in that region really don't like outsiders and the really, really don't like having their picture taken. Ugh. Now you tell me. At any rate, it's something I'm going to focus on in my travels and try to figure out. Thanks for the inspiration.
