JOck Sturges did it in France, but his images were very different and powerful to boot. As I recall, hardly anybody was smiling and he was working on the beach with an 8x10 camera.

When I think of somebody going to shoot brown-skinned people for whatever reason, the first two names which pop into my mind are yours and Ami Vitale.

Your brown faces might like that you respect them, but the buyers don’t see that and are not buying your shot because you respect the brown-skinned people.
