I’m a photographer by avocation. I take many photos of many things.

And yet I will never understand the urge that some people have – usually the worst photographers, too – to take a photo of every damn thing that happens to them.

I never take photos in a place where it will annoy other people – photography is a context-destroyer for many people, and it’s also attention-grabbing. It’s best to be avoided in most public situations. And frankly, some schlemiel taking photos of his grilled cheese sandwich in a restaurant would and does bother even me, an inveterate photographer.
