Silence is the best way

Ich kann nur empfehlen, ab und zu einen Blick in das Foto-Blog von GMB Akash (Bangladesh, hier in der Blogroll) zu werfen. Die Bilder sind einfach atemberaubend.

Sein Rat gilt immer und überall, insbesondere für Touristen aller Art: „Respect the situation. Know about the norms of the place. Learn a few local words to communicate. (…). If you do not understand something sensitive, silence is the best way. Be polite when you are shooting women, young girls or teenagers. Never offer money after taking photographs. This is a very bad practice which creates long-lasting problems later. If you want to give something, give a gift.“
