I tried to photograph people at the British Museum. After a lot of people-watching, I came to the conclusion that most people don't really look at the objects, but photograph them quickly with a camera or mobile and then walk off, spending most of their time doing this. The exception seemed to be the Rosetta Stone. Here people really looked, read, pointed and discussed.
Wonderful, as ever. I am learning.
ReplyDeleteIt's very interesting if you don't actually mention that this is the Rosetta Stone and if you just wonder what everyone is looking at in awe....
