Photo issue

We have really slowed down the picture taking, because of all the annoying habits of digital camera tourists. At almost every site we have visited there have been thousands of tourists and tourist groups rushing through the sites, blindly taking photos without stopping to think about or experience the object being photographed. Rome was the worst for this, especially at all the Catholic sites. The situation is more chill in Istanbul, but the digital camera tourists are still here, flashing away, creating a spectacle of a spectacle.
