There are two worlds: the world of the tourist and the world of everyone else. Often they're side by side. But the tourist doesn't actually see how people live.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own.
Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going.
People who don't travel cannot have a global view, all they see is what's in front of them. Those people cannot accept new things because all they know is where they live.
I'm not a good tourist. I don't like walking around and looking at things. I like being in a city and working and finding out how other people live.
I've taught the better class of tourist both to see and not to see; to lift their eyes above and beyond the inessentials, and thrill to our western Nature in her majesty.
All the privileged can travel, see different worlds; not everyone can. I think it is important for people to have an interesting locale nearby.
The thing people don't understand is that touring or travelling or whatever you do in my position means you go to all these cool places all over the world, but you see everything from a car window. You don't get to see much of the city or meet people at all.
It's only possible to see people when one is able to see the world as others see it.
The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.
The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.
