Rupert, I live really far out in the country myself too. It takes me almost half an hour to get to a town. But even there I think you have opportunity. I see people from big cities (not to pick on New York) but for example would make comments about country folks and so on and so forth.
I think portraying the smiles, the friendliness, the quietness, the neighborliness that I have experienced by growing up in and living in the country... this is kind of editorializing the photos...but again its something that is not so negative. You can show WHY you like to live in the country without saying anything...That's a good thing...
But again the eye of the beholder is the person that interprets what they see...that said, I have never heard anyone complain about 'why' picasso had his point of view in his paintings...
