    That's pretty fuckin sweet! How can someone hate on a picture like that? It just gave me the idea to rig the handle of one of my trekking poles to hold my camera so I can take wide angle selfies of the wife and I on exposed summits.

    There is nothing wrong with that selfie, in my opinion.
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer



  • I don't get the fascination with documenting everything.

    Why wouldn't you document everything....especially at karaoke?

    Why would you want to take a pic of yourself at a Museum anyway each to there own I suppose...but there's nothing wrong with taking a couple of pics of the museum though.


    I have taken many pics in museums over the years... It's usually of something that interests me or that I know is so unique the chances of me seeing it again are minimal. And I have taken selfies reflected in interesting pieces....

    take a good look
    this could be the day

    lie beside me

    They aren't documenting, they are constantly seeking validation.

    Look at me at PJ concert. Look at me at Grand Canyon look at me look at me. LOOK AT ME I NEED VALIDATION AND ATTENTION!!!!

    So amusing to see group of girls taking selfie after selfie to get that perfect fake smiling shot.

    Humans.
    This. Sadly, "likes" and "followers" are all most people care about any more. People value their worth by numerical badges on their cell phone app icons.
    It's just run of the mill narcissism. Not everyone does it. Obviously we only see what people ARE posting. It's not like we're alerted every time someone doesn't post the minutia of their life on Instagram and Facebook. :lol:
