Do the natives there resent being photographed too closely? Seriously, I would like to know. The people are most interesting- they have over the centuries developed corn and potatoes that can grow at the various altitudes, and will plant several crops a year that ripen at different times and heights to coincide with their herd movements to the various pastures. They have developed a culture that has survived pestilence, war, invasions, volcanoes, not to mention doing it in one of the most hostile environments on earth! Personally, I would use a wider 50mm to encompass as much of the color and vitality as I could. I have seen shots of their market places that are just simply beautiful! I'd definitely take a 35mm at least, as well! Dan ( Does ya need someone t' carry yo' bag?)
