@artemis 😂 I love this!
yes, she's finally resting, after years and years of crowds with their non-freaking-stop cameras 🤣
I never understood why folks take pics like this.
A pic of something that's in any art album, and anywhere on the web.

I never understood until I was right in front of her, how *small* the Mona Lisa is!
@stueytheround @artemis
That's what a friend of mine said. She was surprised how small the painting really was.
@artemis @99reasons4truth
I have taken pictures in art galleries, but only the offbeat / quirky / cool stuff I want to show other people that you can't see elsewhere.
@artemis @99reasons4truth
One of my real pet peeves is when people have their phones out at concerts. Small camera sensor, low quality mic. Your video is going to look and sound terrible. Watch and listen to the concert, not a tiny screen.
Yes.
So many people lost or never had the sense of the moment, the present time. Their own feelings at that particular point in time.
@artemis
You said it. Music, dance, theater: These things only truly exist in that moment. You experience it, or you don't.
An ability that needs to be nurtured. Education. Family. Readings, Introspection. Essays on art. And much more.
@voltronic @artemis @99reasons4truth And they're almost always dancing and moving while videoing. What's that video going to look like? Shit. They'll watch 30 seconds of it and delete it because it's unwatchable. Meanwhile, I've had to duck and dodge their ass for the past 3 minutes just to see the goddamned concert.
Right.
Well, let's think of peaceful ways to deter such silly acts.
For e.g. have a water or confetti pistol directed at their camera, LOL

I was at a comedy show last year that was being filmed for TV. They enforced a very strict no-phones policy during the show. Despite the repeated warnings, I saw lots of people get ejected.
Concert halls should have a large net above each seat . At the every moment when some1 uses phone, the net is deployed, the offender is lifted through the roof and deposited in the recycling bin.
@voltronic @artemis @99reasons4truth And yet I was at a carnival (Paranormal Circus) a while back. People seemed to respect the moment. I didn't see anyone booted, although I expect there were a few. I never saw a flash though. At. A. Fucking. Carnival, people were better behaved than almost anywhere I've been to in recent memory.
Interesting.
Perhaps those ppl have a better sense of savoring the moment.
@artemis @voltronic @99reasons4truth It was an odd but very welcome experience. The carnival was top notch, btw. I'm not a fan of carnivals, but this one was amazing. (No animals.)
@artemis Right? 🤣 😂
