From my final paper on the sociology of photography: (Figure 1) Pierre Denison’s irony which reprimands the naive enthusiasm of photographic fanatics and gives at their ridicule paraphernalia: “when they arrive on holiday at a beauty spot or in front of a recommended campanile, travelers immediately think of their camera. Rather than contemplating the landscape with their frontal eyes, these people rush to have it admired by this third eye extracted from the abdomen.” (Bourdieu, p. 68)
