Not with guns, although some tourists can be pretty annoying. No, photographer Alan Powdrill has an interesting photo set of pictures he’s taken of tourists taking pictures.

It’s neat to see the full range of emotions one can have while taking a picture, from happiness to intense concentration at getting the right shot.

I particularly like this photo, with the red and white so contrasted:

Powdrill seems to capture people both close up and from afar, so I’m curious if he asked anyone if he could take their picture, or if he just sneakily shot them in order to get their “photo face.” (As an aside, I have a photo face that has been extensively made fun of — basically my mouth hangs open when I take a shot).

Check out the entire set at Powdrill’s website here.
