When we got here the choir was already singing and without any hesitation, I started shooting. Employing one of the classic practices of news photography - shoot first ask permission later. They did not protest but the song got louder. After a few shots, three men approached us and demanded to know why I was taking pictures without permission. After pleading that 'I am only doing my job' and the men asked that I must stop taking pictures. I did not object because I already had my picture.
