Photos of People Taking Photos

Posted on August 14, 2014October 17, 2022 by David Barker

Paris is a great place to take photos of people taking photos. The place is teeming with tourists most of whom spend a lot of their time documenting their time. If they spend so much time documenting, then a true document of their visit would also document the time spent documenting the time spent… ad infinitum. In the last photo, I document an art installation as it documents me documenting the art installation documenting me.
