| "The Gang of Mtae". Usambara Mountain Range, Tanzania |
It was easier some years ago when a digital camera was not very well known to kids. Kids were mostly rather reluctant to be taken picture of, but when they saw themselves seconds later at the display they were all in for another picture (and many more). Usually the second and third photo turned out best, and you could delete the first you shot. This way I got some lively pictures from Tanzania and Philippines, while they for example were more doubtful looking in the Annapurna mountain range in Nepal.
Some of the kids asked for bribes like money, candy or whatever, but usually they were just genuinely interested in a shabby backpacker with a small pocket-camera (and bad soccer-skills). I have never paid for a picture but if you really want to give something, it should be something useful for their education. Candy is the last thing you should give, because the dental health service is not like back home.
Maybe this will be an ongoing feature of this blog, so here are a few more pictures of mine to kick things off:
