I especially feel that, after just returning from a long trip, seeing the locals getting objectified to a great degree. “Locals Are Not Scenery”

Truly so. I especially feel that, after just returning from a long trip, seeing the locals getting objectified to a great degree.

Respect goes a long way to getting the right picture and the right reaction from the person AFTER the shot. @Anil: great point on local culture; there are huge differences in how people react to having their picture taken around the world. I'm a big fan of being able to give away prints of people: used to be easy with the old Polaroids... but the portable ink-jet printers are bringing it back. I'm considering getting a Polaroid PoGo for my next trip... Taking pictures of people is very tough, and requires you to think about the person and not just the photo.
