Look at this photo from the Olympics. I count about 75 photographers, each decked out with a $9,000 (or more expensive) camera and lens (and most of them are carrying several cameras).

Uh, not to put too fine a point on it, but it’s because the whole world is interested… including Scoble.

Then, of course, I have looked at those same pictures.
It’s the hippie in me coming out.
