whale syndrome
a popular expression used by french canadians, which depicts the urge to film and/or take as much pictures as possible of an event which seems amazing when seen in real-time, but appears devoid of interest when looking back at the footage and/or photos.
the expression’s name relates to whale tours, a popular tourist attraction in québec’s côte-nord, during which this phenomenon is very frequent among newcomers.
quebecer 1: can you believe this? aunt jeanne managed to fill 3 memory cards with her photos from the whale tour…
quebecer 2: whale syndrome. don’t worry about it, that’s a family trait. it’s just like my grandfather who films fireworks shows.
