I didn’t find them “unbelievably crass”. We are trained from being toddlers to smile when being photographed. Sometimes we just smile because of that training. I remember being photographed smiling while at my daughter’s wake. It was the worst day of my life. I simply smiled without thinking, out of rote training, because “that’s what you do when being photographed”.

Same reaction I had. It’s not like the tourists are giving the Nazi salute or something. Even the woman in front of the shoes... for all I know, she had just walked a mile and was stretching her leg at the moment the photo was snapped. Who knows?
