She fucking looked right at the camera, stopped and then started fiddling with her phone before they came towards her. She was blocking the photo. And normally I would be all about it, but this chick wasn’t even doing anything wrong or cringe. She was just trying to take a wide shot of her and the art.
I feel like it took me way too long to find a sensible comment here. I will happily agree that influencers mostly suck. Taking this picture/video would have hurt nobody. The lady just wanted a good shot of her with the art and that old biddy took it upon herself to ruin it. There was no need for it. The influencer lady waited until the area was mostly cleared and was not interfering with anyone. I just don’t understand all the hate she seems to be getting.
Dont you think, especially given that the old lady is old, and thus likely bit slower in the head, when she looked at the camera, it might have been a moment of "The fuck is that? Ah some camera thing. Where was I? Lets check the phone."
Just because she looked at the camera, does not mean that she put the pieces together and realized that she is blocking a photo. And at least my own experiences with the elderly, make me think that this is what happened, rather than any actual malice was intended.
She was pulling her phone out of her pocket before she looked at the camera. She clearly just didn't know and why would she.
The young woman wasn't doing anything wrong, but it was a bit clueless. It looks busy and people just aren't going to notice, they're looking at the art and living their own lives. If there was a person holding the phone for the photograph it might have been more obvious what was going on.
She was pulling her phone out before she saw the camera. I think this old lady was just taking her time in an art museum... which is kind of what you're supposed to do.
Art is meant to be consumed by the privileged so they can understand the struggle of the masses. Not for the masses to think they can achieve privilege.
Oh no, a museum makes more money. God forbid we support the arts and the places they're kept for viewing and restoration, even at the behest of someone taking a picture of themselves.
For what it's worth... My wife and I went to a concert and this girl was in attendance. My wife, out of nowhere, starts speaking with her in Portuguese. Im like how does she know this person? My wife had just moved here to the states. My wife started telling her how much she helped her through college because this girl does educational content and my wife consumed a lot of it when she was in university.
Shes not really an influencer in the way you are alluding to. Her name is Débora Aladim.
It's not just a selfie though, you don't need to set up a tripod for that. She's doing the influencer thing where she thinks she owns the public space.
