I was once showing a group of friends some of my photos from Ethiopia and one of the people commented "well, anyone can take good photos in a place like that". I was amazed at the comment, particularly given that the same person has seen many photos of Ethiopia by other friends which are completely shit, and plenty of mine taken locally which are pretty good. Everywhere is exotic to people who live on the other side of the world. I remember coming home one day to find a group of Japanese tourists peering into the window of my house, presumably taking an anthropological interest in the exotic native household.
