The Butcher of Bekaa

In Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, on a charity mission with my excellent colleagues from Silverfish Media, I asked this butcher if I could photograph him.  He was happy, even toothlessly proud, for me to capture his handiwork.

But as soon as I started snapping, the guys in the background moved towards me fast, shaking their fists – and not in a good way.

I didn’t want to end up like the cow, so I put my camera away.
