Away from countries that fear terrorism and believe everyone with a
camera is a possible threat, to photograph people is a delight. And such a
great excuse to make new friends, start a conversation, and learn something
new. The better if you speak the local language.
I learned a lot from the people I photographed—from Africans; Latin
Americans, Asians. And they always treated me as a friend. Why can’t so many of
us not act similarly?
I photographed this gentle old blue-eyed man near Puerto Montt, in Chile.
He was herding sheep but was happy to give me his time and chat with me for a
while. We both ended up a little happier and wiser that day.
