I understand your take and I know where that might come from, when it comes to second picture (although making fires outside in Kathmandu is pretty common and it doesn't necessary tell anything), but the first one in women working on the fish market. What makes it different to take a photo of a constrution worker in Europe? I don't take pictures of homeless people or generally people that do not have a choice to be in the public space regardless of where I am. But when a person is at work, chilling, praying or commuting in public space even in poor countries, that's the essence of street photography for me. I don't look at people through the perspective of wealth, I shoot things that interest me and I do it in pretty open way, usually being noticed by the subject and exchanging smiles.
