I think we have similar tastes in photography. My parents are bird watchers, but I don’t have the patience to wait for birds to strike the right pose so I stick to taking photos of plants and architecture. Then my Chinese friends complain I’m not in any of the photos, while they think all the world’s an excuse for selfies.

Great observation (in my opinion), that some people think cameras are only for selfies!
If they weren’t so obsessed about themselves, they might see some of the world.
