PauliBen VtP Annotation: Spraying the Shamba

This image gives us a farmer's-level view of the use of agricultural pesticides, placing us directly into the field as if we are accompanying the farmer himself during a spraying routine. The perspective of the shot is appropriate given the author's intention to encourage empathy in the viewer, to get us to imagine the trade-offs and dilemmas that real-world people face when they decide whether to make use of toxic substances in their everyday lives.
