I 100% echo your sentiment @honeydue!
Missing out on what a destination is all about, for the sake of owning a piece of Gucci, is superficial beyond belief!
Empty lives, empty spaces!
I don't care what people think when I'm taking photos of what some may deem nonsensical, but is something I want to capture of a beautiful destination.
PS Gucci etc often is found at 'pre-loved' stores, I've found some gems at a fraction of the original price, sometimes still with original store labels!
I read this yesterday but didn't get to comment. However,your words were on my mind while taking my own nonsensical photos. I still hope sometimes people will follow my gaze, what the hell she looking at, and maybe see the damn beauty they're surrounded by.
I knowww! Funnily enough, a lot of these people who spring for designer labels wouldn't be caught dead in one of these stores. Oh well, their loss..
Their loss exactly! However, here in SA, many of those dolly birds are smarter than their peers and are selling their designer wear on online stores like Yaga.
