on tourism (CLF)

“…I am under the impression that no-one is really paying attention to the splendors and beauties of the site, as the urge to photograph is so overwhelming. The photographic record of the visit has almost destroyed the very notion of actually looking.”      
— Martin Parr

*Just wanted to share this quotation with you all...I have updates from Amsterdam (and ironically a few pictures) that I will post later. I about to start my last week at Oxford before touring the continent (I have to agree with Cole: where DID the time go?)
