		<description><![CDATA[I am in no way condemning the photographer of this shot. I have taken similar pictures and have to defend photography as an art form and state that, while the streets of western countries are fantastic subjects for photography the scale is less and less human. The beauty of pictures such as The Long Way Home may be related to their simplicity and humanity.

I guess there have always been disparities in wealth and power between the haves and have nots but these days cheap air travel seems to allow we who live in the rich world to objectify people from the “developing world” without a thought.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&amp;blog=2000120&amp;post=4751&amp;subd=talkingbollocks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The concept of tourists destroying what they visit is not new and was deftly described in a 1975 Science Fiction story by Garry Kilworth named “Let’s Go to Golgotha”. To quote Wikipedia: “In the future period where the story takes place, time travel has been invented and made commercially available. Among other historical events, tourists can book a time-travelling "Crucifixion Tour." Before setting out, the tourists are strictly warned that they must not do anything to disrupt history. Specifically, when the crowd is asked whether Jesus or Barabbas should be spared, they must all join the call "Give us Barabbas!". (A priest absolves them from any guilt for so doing). However, when the moment comes, the protagonist suddenly realizes that the crowd condemning Jesus to the cross is composed entirely of tourists from the future, and that no actual Jewish Jerusalemites of 33 AD are present at all.”

		<description><![CDATA[The gossip in Brighton is often that Hastings is an option. A sort of cross between how Brighton is supposed to be and a fall back position. Brightonians argue through the ideas that Brighton has become too expensive, trendy, busy, full of tourists....(take your pick) and that Hastings may be an option.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&amp;blog=2000120&amp;post=1452&amp;subd=talkingbollocks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
