Thread: Selfies

So a few weeks back I was in Niagara Falls with my girlfriend. Wonderful time we had together for our anniversary. While on Clifton hill I noticed some tourists with an odd looking stick, taking pictures of themselves. "Oh my God" I said to my girlfriend "What has this world come to." It was a selfie stick. Selfie's in my opinion are horrible, I know my girlfriend likes to take them and have even seen guys at the gym taking them. I shake my head and face palm.

It's not that people shouldn't be happy with the way they look and have a few pictures of themselves or enjoy looking in the mirror. I am guilty of that sometimes. It's the stupid faces and/or poses that come along with selfie's that bug the crap out of me. I also dislike when you can see the cellphone in the persons picture.... the dreaded mirror selfie's. I am not saying people who take selfie's are a different breed doomed to a fiery eternity down below. It just saddens me that they have nothing better to do then make a duck face in the mirror and take a picture of it. There is a world searching for a cure to cancer, a way to stop climate change, a beautiful piece of wood waiting to be turned into a carving, a canvas without a painting. The list goes on and on. I guess I have ranted a little but it is one of my pet peeves.

Final point is if you really want a picture of yourself are the days gone when you asked a stranger to take a picture of you?

What are your thoughts on selfie's guys? Very interested to see what the SRP community has to say about this.

Your asking a bunch of people that take pictures of the razor they used today or what they had for supper???

Yea that's acceptable Those are razors and meals, sharing ideas with others of a similar interest.

You know the rules around here: If you don't have a pic of someone using a selfie stick, then it didn't happen.

Almost identical to what I saw that fateful day.

I have never seen one of those. Wonder if they could double as a putter?

The best selfie I have seen was a friend of mine that took one with a pinhole camera. He was about 20 yards from the camera by a water falls.
