this idiocy seems to be a high form of art in the dc area. either they go, or i go.
i have never seen anyone taking photos in france, london, spain or italy.
i have frequently seen and expect touristos taking pics in hawaii, the Caribbean and the like.

In Europe we tend to be just natural in a restaurant. For many of us it is just normal to go to such places and if one likes to document the dishes eaten, just take these photos and relax. I do this anywhere including in 3 Michelin star restaurants where I tend to be most relaxed.
