Little Froggie: You are 100% correct. That being said, you are late to the party. This photo taking cancer has spread so far and is prevalent everywhere in all situations. (With the thankful exception of Shabbos.)
This, of course, is an extreme example. But is it any better when rabbonim come throngs of people stick cameras and phones into their faces? Or when there are other solemn events crowds are sticking up their photo-taking electronics rather than bearing the message being conveyed?
Of course you are correct in fighting it.
