Love these stories. As for the children and...Ha ha! Love these stories. As for the children and the photo, they probably just wanted to see them on your camera. In Nepal, I spent time w/ an unbelievably arrogant American photographer who carried a small printer in a back pack and would occasionally deem to give his subjects a print. One woman had never had her photo taken in her life, so it was a really big deal for her to receive an actual photo. But being full of himself, the photog made the woman practically beg for the photo - she gave him a necklace for his wife, which she needed to sell to earn a living. She also insisted I take one, which I didn't want (but couldn't refuse, because she would have been insulted). Sometimes these commercial exchanges between cultures are really fraught, aren't they?paris parfaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457437124988976587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761781176733647871.post-55039380502283153292013-06-13T08:02:03.409-07:002013-06-13T08:02:03.409-07:00I'm cracking up.
