We’ve spent some wonderful times these past few days exploring art museums in Paris. The museums and artwork is absolutely wonderful. But wow does it make me dislike other people!
So many people with their phones out… doing nothing but walking from painting to painting, snapping pictures. Stepping in the way, sighing loudly when I have the gall to stand and look at a painting, and get in their shot….
I just don’t get it. (Cont….)
…They aren’t appreciating the art. It feels like they are just collecting the fact of being there, without ever actually being present.
Maybe it’s so they can print them out at home? But the quality will be horrible.
I think it’s just to post on social media, to prove that they were there.
What a waste.
Is this what getting old feels like? I would say something about those damn kids with their phones, but it was people older than me too.
