Photo Report

It's always interesting to look at traveling pictures of people who have gone to the same places as you.  People have very different views of the same places.  And when you compare their pictures to your own, even if you followed the same typical tourist route, you find many differences.  When you know the person, you can often directly connect their pictures to their personality.  Sometimes you take the same picture of the same famous monument, but have different angles, which completely change the feel.  What is most interesting though, is that your pictures reflect your view of the city, and your knowledge of the city.  When someone takes different pictures, you look at them, and don't recongnize the city, even if you recognize every corner.  But you still feel that your pictures are more accurate, because that is how you saw the city...
