TRAVELER POV
Here are a few reasons why travelers want to take a picture:
The photograph is considered a souvenir.
The photograph shows something that the traveler wishes to
share with friends and family.
LOCAL POV
Here are a few reasons why locals do not want travelers to
take their picture:
The photograph is considered a nuisance. This is particularly
true in areas that are frequently touristed, such as markets.
The photograph 'steals the soul.'
The photograph is considered a portrait, and they would prefer
to be groomed and in their best clothes.
Other photographers have promised to send a copy of the picture
and they have not done so.
SUGGESTIONS
For travelers who wish to take photos and not be a nuisance,
the best recommendation in taking close-up photos of people
is to ask permission.
The best food pictures show full plates. No one really wants
to see half-eaten sandwiches or empty plates after a meal.
Include the panorama, show where the activity takes place.
PHOTO SAFARIS
Tour organizers can create a list of subjects that their group
should be on the lookout. After your group returns, collect
the best photos and host a reunion slide show.
An alternative version is to print out photos from Flickr,
find the subjects and give them the print out of the page. Example
