I remember an Amercian couple asking me to take a picture of them at the killing fields in Phnom Penh. They asked me to step back so that I could get most of the tower in. That is the tower that's filled with skulls and bones of victims.
Hate this modern obsession with taking photos of fucking everything. It's like an event, trip or whatever didn't actually take place if you don't have 50 photos to upload to facebook/instagram etc.
What is it with people feeling the need to constantly update everyone they know on every little thing they do? Taking photos at a place like Auschwitz or the killing fields makes no sense to me, you're there to witness the grounds of great human atrocity not to let everyone know you went.

I would probably take photos if I ever go to Auschwitz, which I'd like to at some point.
Don't know if i'd plaster them all over fb tho. Dunno why you'd want a selfie with skulls or that, you'd expect it from kids but not adults who have an understanding of what went on at these places.
My kids gave me grief after about 10 minutes of being in the catacombs of Paris. "Dad, this is so boring. Just skulls". Have to admit they were spot on. Point blank refused to be part of any photos after the first one, as I had to adjust for lighting conditions. They wanted to go see the L'Opera as they had seen it in Smurfs 2.
Those Killing Field skulls look even more tedious.

I actually took the pic for them which is ridiculous when I think about it. I threw them a but took the shot anyway. Google image didn't come up with anything decent under killing fields selfie so I just banged that one up to show the subject. Pretty crass, really.
Do you prefer sitting next to someone scoffing a bag of wotsits on the bus and breathing their filth on you? To each their own, but I'll stick to my fortress of solitude and Jamie XX album thanks.
