This reminded me of my trip to India. Standing in front of a famous landmark in New Delhi, i watched 3 locals (young guys who were clearly fairly poor) take a photo of themselves with the landmark in the background, then take off their shirts and trade them to each other and take another photo, then trade and take a photo again. For me it was sad not just because they obviously had very little, but because they spent all their focus on looking like they had more rather than enjoying the moment and the place they were in.
