When they shout back, "That's true, but this is a record of my personal experience here and I can use this particular photo as an aid to help me remember the feel of the weather, the color of the leaves, the details of this particular moment, from my particular vantage point -- and that's what's important, not just the fact that a million photos have been taken here before me -- this is my photo" do you stick around to listen, or do you just continue walking in a self-congratulatory huff?
- TeMPOraL 12y agoI continue walking in a self-congratulatory huff. I happen to be born without the gene that gives you the ability to derive emotional experiences from photos you made. Probably because of that, I don't enjoy "tourism" at all. No, I don't even grok it.
- chasing 12y agoOh, that's okay then. When someone's enjoying themselves in a way that confuses you but otherwise has nothing to do with you, it's perfectly acceptable to be an asshole to them. Carry on, good sir! Keep making the world a better place!
