This week’s photo challenge from dailypost.wordpress.com is all about the “selfie.”
I’m really not sure what I think about this photo or “selfie’s” in general. It’s too easy to fall into the trap of rampant vanity, I think, if you become enamored with taking photos of just yourself.
I took this shot with my iphone 4, backlit from a stark winter view outside. Not very imaginative, I know, but I really dislike photos of myself.
All this winter weather has me grumpy. I’ll keep thinking about this and see if I can come up with something more interesting.
Got any ideas? Maybe a different take on what “self” means. Hmm…
Steve, I like photos of you! I think taking selfies by yourself is a little odd, but having other people in the frame is cool.
Well, come around and we’ll take a few! 🙂
Actually, a better answer to my solo-selfie is that I seriously need to get out more! Mr. Myagi would not approve of the current “imbalance” in my life. Always something to work on.
I think the two most epic selfies I’ve seen involve our mutual friends. 1. Father Roderick’s selfie with the mosaic of Pope Francis; 2. Pat and Nicole’s selfie with Pope Francis. Hmm. I think I see a common denominator here. 😉
Boy, I’d go for one of those if I could!
