Knowing Your Surroundings - Street Photography
During a trip in the Caribbean, I found myself taking a photo of 2 older gentlemen playing chess. I immediately noticed 3 individuals coming at me from different directions.
Now what?
1) Prior to the trip - reviewed Gov't website for crime levels.
2) Speak with Hotel staff regarding what areas to stay away from and authorized taxis.
3) Prior to taking any photos, I scanned the area for businesses, restaurants and retail stores where I could find an immediate safety, if required.
4) Make sure you have phone numbers for police, your hotel and in some cases your tour guide. Don't be looking at your phone - out of sight , out of mind.
5) I don't were any jewelry as well.
Have a safe trip.
