1) Feel free to take shots of crowds and animals
2) Never stick the camera in someone's face as one would with, say a hummingbird.
3) When there is a purchase with a vendor, the relationship changes.
4) Never pay for photos.
Markets are difficult to photograph. But John has an awesome technique. He takes photos from the hip with a small point-and-shoot, making him inconspicuous if that is at all possible for us. No matter where we go around the world, we always stick out. :( It also helps that our camera has a wide angle lens; sometimes the woman next to the llama also gets in the frame.
I think our respect for people comes through. There is rarely any pushback.

Inspiration? From me? Thanks for this clear exposition of how to take photos in a foreign land. And most fortunate to've captured this lovely indigenous woman in her lovely hat.
Foreign land? The same protocol applies at the NC State Fair.
Well, S-L, the NC State Fair is sort of a foreign land, if you get what I mean.
@Ed, I have to agree with you on this one.
