I was taking selfies long before they were popular. I took one from the top of a mountain in the early 1980’s. I did it again with my cellphone camera some 40 years later.
I’ve never really understood the obsession with selfies. It must be such a narcissistic thing to do. Not to mention that it’s not a good format – to use a non portrait focal length for portraiture. You watch some people and they have to have themselves as the main subject on every photo going, so missing out on the actual thing you should be photographing behind you.I’ve yet to take a single selfie, but I take loads of photos of things around me. Clearly in a minority here

So that’s my problem. Not bad camera, bad subject.

Your arms are too short, the phone’s too close to fit that head in.

I see Ralph’s nickname for her of “Honeybunch” is because she comes with a set of painful stingers.

It is not that people can’t take a clear picture of Bigfoot, it’s that Bigfoot is out of focus.

Why would I want to take a picture of myself?
