It wouldn't be far off the mark to say I travel for the purpose of taking photographs... I can't say I recommend this to everyone, but it works for me :-)

If the images you make aren't worth the time it takes to make them, stop. If your camera is ruining your trip, then you aren't a photographer. |
True but you're coming from the point of view of a photographer. I think the article was meant for non-photographers. It goes without saying that those holding up camera phones at every landmark, at every concert, are not photographers. Video has only made things worse. Now you can't go to a concert without several idiots in front of you holding up phones for hours on end.
