Nooooooooooo, I was about to go to Japan this November, using my iPhone 14 Pro to take pictures of Japan with less tourists...............

With special privilege that’s not available for regular tourist of course.

Yeah all of those pesky tourists always taking pictures with their iPhone 14 Pros, oh wait...

Loooll, thankfully I am not your average tourist.

Feels like everyone thinks they're not the average tourist. Ok well the average tourist is really the tour bus, get off, take photos, back on the bus kind. But are you the average "not-average tourist" ;)

I mean as in I could get special visa.

So in your mind it's not your behavior that sets you apart as a tourist, but your ability to get a special visa?

Personally, someone going with the main purpose to take photos of a place is the most touristy of tourists.

Even when I visit a place like Japan for 3 months, I barely take photos because it takes you out of it and you get in the way.

Take enough photos to capture key memories and places but mainly enjoy the actual adventure.

To not be a tourist in my mind you should be living there, not trying to document it.

But to each their own how they want to live, I just wanted to rant on your rant.

It's probably some pretentious kid that think they are special just because they are wasting their parent's money with an iPhone 14 Pro.

They will soon learn that nobody cares.

Doubtful they were even considered going to Japan, they just wanted to brag about a piece of hardware.
