One of my objections to photographers shooting the locals while traveling is that there is a preponderance of smiling faces aimed at the camera while we as viewers do not know if they are smiling because the photographer has just given them $50, promised them a trip to Disneyland, or other inducement to smile. I dislike portfolios of brown-skinned foreigners smiling  at the cameras it reeks of everything bad about Yuppies.

A FB friend of mine just posted an entire portfolio of some 80 photos of Nepal and Tibet.  There was not one single scenic in it, only two of a person in context.

The entire show was portraits of "native" people, almost all of them smiling for the camera.

Nepal.  Tibet.

(And not one of any monk immolating him/herself either.)

(At least my photo only got demerits for not having birds!)
