Philip Greenspun argues for including random tourists in travel photographs.
If you're trying to communicate the experience of being in a place, aren't those mobs of tourists part of the experience? The more despoiled by tourism a place has become, the more important it is to capture a big tour group clogging a passageway.Several side-by-side comparisons of a typical photo (famous sight only) and a photo including nearby tourists. Which is more authentic to the experience? Do we want authenticity when we record our travels?
