Primitive Country

I am afraid of taking photographes in a poor third nation’s country, can you help?

I am living right now in a very poor and primitive country in Asia and being not look like a foreigner, I am afraid of taking my precious digital camera and taking photos. When I have done that in the past, some people ran after me asking for taking them a photo. Others have asked me, why do you take photo and where will you publish them. I mean it is a little difficult to take professional photos when you walk alone in a poor country with your costly SLR camera.

Well, people do hate it when they are photographed, I mean people who live in a bad state, or who are overly suspicious. I guess I understand them, if this country is a third world country, poor and opressed, there must be a lot of tension around. Try not to photograph too many people, or at least, try not to seem like a spy, official, nosy reporter. If they do inquire about your photographs, just state that they are touristic photos, that you do not intend to publish them. But I suggest, stay out of trouble, besides, take care of your camera, you never know when it might get stolen. Sad, fate-stricken people can be pushed to desperate actions.
