about harrassing photographers...

See guys?  This is what we’re trying to not do.  You see a tourist and you help them.  But to be honest, most of the time I see someone with a camera and try to figure out if they’re a flickr friend or a tumblr friend or neighbor.  It’s unfortunate that a camera around the neck or pressed to the eye is an indicator of a tourist—where I come from, a camera means you’re keenly tuned into your environs.  Or, you just spotted something that cannot be explained.

It’s the 21st century: a camera is reportage, street photography, a challenge.  To say that a camera is alone the tool of the tourist is provincialism.
