Such an interesting take on life. We're at a point in time when this is normal. I believe (hopefully 😬) there will come a time when it's part of the past. I don't know what will replace it, or if people will just be burned out from it. The self-congratulatory aspect is so apparent.
I'm feeling more & more like I should've asked for something like a portable web - cam on my newest custom - made power chair. Oh, well, 5 more years on..... ( lifespan of most power chairs ) An opportunity missed isn't necessarily one that's lost for all time.
Hmmm...I'm kinda torn here. On the one hand, I love a beautiful picture and it takes a lot of picture taking to get one good one, though, I rarely take pictures of myself or others, for that matter. I get the whole photography aspect. On the other hand, there's the writer side of me who wonders how those people felt, what they were thinking, what they noticed that made them think I need to capture a selfie to commemorate this; those things that a picture can't answer. How they would write it, what they would say and then, which would sing more, reading and seeing both - the picture or the words? I tend to side with the writing, if for no other reason than to be completely in the moment. That picture will likely never make it off their phone anyway. The pictures you captured are wonderful! Thank you for sharing them. XO
...i loved sharing the first record by a band called music tapes called imaginary first symphony by nomad which is about tv sets coming to earth tio watch us and we watch them instead...a great reminder about power is we all have it, and the taller the towers, the more they wish to use it against us...

Cheers!
I really do believe we will look back in a matter of years and wonder what the hell we were doing trying to be something we weren't ...
Anthropology was never funnier!
Thank you Marco & Sabrina!
These are great! So glad I'm not in one of them! Hilarious, especially the first one!
Thank you - I was kind of surprised how few of these I had - sometimes you can't be sure they're taking a selfie!

I dread to think how we'll be taking, or what technologies will be in place for, selfies in five years time !
