The woman in the picture saw my client with a camera and asked for a photograph. Just at that moment arrived, in single file and with the basket on their heads, the women that had been planting rice. “Don’t let him take you a picture! You’ll be on a calendar! Ask him how much the tubab (white man) is gonna earn from the calendar!” Many women and men prefer not to be taken pictures. Some have appeared in calendars or western TV programmes. Sometimes people who make calendars or postcards make a profit from their images and they receive nothing. For this reason, I always recommend my clients to ask before taking a photograph. If we are given permission, carry on; if not, we’ll find a better opportunity.
