“People taking pictures, especially in a place like this, they want proof of a memory but they don’t actually experience something to remember,” Dinklage told the Belfast Telegraph.

“It’s sort of strange. ‘Can I have your picture?’ But they don’t really meet you. It’s just a sort of thing that’s happening now that’s replacing an experience, a memory that you will have–instead it’s just the memory of a photo,” he explained.
