I am HIGHLY critical of the trend going on in my city at the moment. Where every son-of-a-***** all of a sudden is a pro photografer because they got a big expensive camera. It's a damn pestilence that you can't go to concerts or parties without camera flashes every 5 second, because some retards need to document EVERY damn minute of their evening and upload it to the web so that everyone can see how treeendyyyy they are, or how obnoxious they can pose with their friends. I went to a concert last night, and there were 2 absolute wankers, one with a regular camera with a huge blitz, and one guy with a video-camera with a light on it. Constantly hogging the dancefloor in order to take 700+ pictures of the crew performing. Extremely disturbing for the people who came for the music, and not to have their mug plastered on some idiotic indie website or blog, dedicated to capturing the spirit of the citys night-life. The only places you can go out without having to think about cameras is the radical anarchist scene, where people will beat you for being an undercover cop if you take pictures where they think you might see their faces.
I'm critical of this photo-culture because we spend more time documenting and making sure people will know you were there, than actually being there. This society's youth is so obsessed with appearance and self-reflectionism that any substance has been smothered to death.
