Charles is there shaking hands and thanking the public person by person for their kind words and condolences and all those people are putting a phone in his face to take pictures.
I absolutely agree with you, but you can see that a lot of those people are struggling with whether or not they should do so. A part of them knows it's not right. The pull of the technology and social media driven ego-feeding frenzy has really f***ed us up, I think, and stolen our souls.

Ex used to take photos all the time despite no mobile phones back in the day, & always saw things through the lens of his camera. I always felt that was somehow wrong, and that you didn't really experience anything truly & properly, just wasn't somehow real, live, then & there if it was always through that "third eye" distraction.
Turned out to be quite prescient when we split up & he kept all the photos of our trip to the USA! I still have the lovely Peterbilt trucks, the Great Divide point & the Grand Canyon images fresh in my mind.

The one that kissed his cheek will become the stuff of legend.
