The first time I ____ this phenomenon was a few years ago, in St Peter's Basilica in Rome- a ____ of people standing round Michelangelo's Pietci, taking photos with their cameras and mobile phones. Then last week I saw it again at the Museum of Modern Art (the MOMA) in New York. At first, I wasn't too worried when I saw people photographing the paintings. It was a bit ____, but that was all. It didn't make me angry. Then the ____ hit me. Most of the people were taking photos without looking at the paintings themselves. People were ____ me, not because they were trying to get a better view of the art, but because they wanted to ____ that no one blocked their photo. Was it possible that perhaps they were taking the photos so that they could ____ the paintings better when they got home? This was very ____. They were not there to see the paintings, but to take photos to ____ that they had been there. Then it got worse. Now people were taking photos of their partners or friends who were posing next to, or in front of some of the most famous paintings. ____ the photographers ____ the person they were photographing had looked at the art itself, although I saw that sometimes they read the ____, to make sure that the artist really was famous. At least nobody asked me to take a picture of them together, smiling in front of a Picasso! I think that photography in museums should be ____, but I also have a less ____. I think that people who want to take a photo of an ____ should be ____ to look at
