Rural Life by Ryszard Wierzbicki
How does a regular rural life in Myanmar like? To see the real faces of local culture the travel photographer should unite with local people, spend some time with them, be open for listening, share … and observe. There is no chance to be accepted and permitted to take a stunning picture when passing by only and “take”… Usually there is no need to give money in exchange. Just talk and share your time with people. Do not be stingy of your precious time. People you meet on your way are giving it for you with no claim of any exchange … So, be compassionate and give them your story also. This is fair enough to give your time to them for the picture you intend to take.
