    having been a tourist a few times lately, i found this pretty funny

    The angle AND the skinny jeans + converse.

  3. Chris says:

    And the camera.

    • Sal says:

      I dunno. Have you noticed the huge number of teenage girls with really expensive cameras who think that they’re photographers because of it?

      • Eleanor says:

        It’s definitely not just teenage girls. Also true of a lot of grown women I know who seem to think starting a photography business will be easy as pie. (except easier! Because hey, no baking.)

    And the bag of freshly bought books.

    The angle actually does help. Though it kills your back. ;)
    Every teenage girl nowadays thinks she’s a photographer and it’s all the rich teenage girls who think they’re photographers who get fancy cameras even if they can’t take a picture better than a 2 year old. ;)

  6. Clueless says:

    Wait, so how does the angle make the photo better? Or it doesn’t? I honestly want to know.

  7. Daniel says:

    It helps as much as stepping back a foot and standing normally would. So, maybe.

  8. David says:

    Holding the lens incorrectly is always a tipoff of something….

  9. Eric says:

    I think they mean the art graduate is working harder to get that good composition, whereas the tourist just points and shoots.

  10. Casey says:

    The ‘tourist’ might actually be a spy or a burglar, since the subject appears to be the security camera.

  11. John says:

    The leaning backwards gets your body underneath the camera which helps to stabilize it.

  12. sean says:

    taking a step backwards would ruin the perfect angle, the body angle actually does help in composition.
    As for tourist vs student, this is a horrible representation, because EVERYONE knows the art student would be shooting the bag on the ground
