The Bitter Truth is Asians like to take photographs. Yet there are no world famous Asian photographers. And no, Annie Lebowitz isn't Asian, she just looks that way. Okay maybe that is a truth from the 1980s where it seemed every Asian tourist had a large camera (or cameras) around their neck. Maybe because the technology in their home countries was so good they all had cameras. I'm not sure. Nowadays seems we are all Asian and we as a culture are obsessed with taking pictures. Of everything. And then posting them for the world to see. Notice I didn't say enjoy.
Seems you can't go to a concert without some drunk holding up their iPhone in front of me blocking my view of the show so they can capture the amazing moment forever. Or at least until they post it to Instagram. They are so busy trying to document the experience they actually don't experience anything.
If that isn't annoying enough there are people taking pictures of themselves. Those little moments of Narcissistic behavior are called "Selfies." The worst are people who feel the need to take photos of everything that they eat. Pre and post chow down. Not everything needs to be photographed I know that sounds odd coming from a guy who had thousands of celebrity photo ops. But it's true. Thanks to modern technology we are now that Asain over doing it with a camera. It is time to just stop photographing luife and start living it and that's The Bitter Truth. Oh and hipsters, yes, I took the name of this post from an album title from the band Japan, who aren't Asian.
