Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 02, 2019

Is the Dubai FD’s technique what inspired the Nintendo 64 game “Super Mario Sunshine” (or vice-versa)? (In which museum does one even find that one hundred eighty-year-old selfie?)

What? Illegal to photograph Eiffel tower in night? I’ll never waste my time visiting Paris.

Selfies are nothing new. I done it with a kodak brownie back in the 1950’s.

So, being a self-absorbed narcisist was a tendency almost 200 years ago? Good to know.

The jetpacks aren’t for building fires…https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/dubai-firefighters-water-jetpacks-avoid-uae-city-heavy-traffic-united-arab-emirates-a7541551.html

I had forgotten, Did the same thing back in the late 1960s.

My method for taking selfies was, with an Argus C-3, on a tripod, prop a slide-rule over the trigger, and under the light-meter, and pull the slider out to just where the weight wasn’t quite enough to trip, get in front and wait. Sometimes got a pix running into place, and some times waiting a long time. Kodachromes from 1964 still good.

In Scotland we would have just painted the tower with phosphorescent paint and saved money on the electric…

Is photography not art?
