Lee Friedlander did a whole book too.

I see the popularity of the selfie has now developed into the group selfie. Whatever next?

Radio show host John Moe has opined that it is now time to point our cameras at other people and call the pictures 'otheries'.
I have, on occasion, also been encouraged to make a closed eyes selfie. Those are hilarious.

Link to awesome selfie. Puts the rest of them to shame, really.

Are you in this picture?

Perverse twisted George Carlin fan... Wonder if we could start a world record run up as to the worlds largest film format selfie.
Or better yet the worlds largest flash powder charge illuminated selfie...

Or a picture of someone else being the unselfie.

All the world's a stage

Let's go for it!

Sure made me laugh...

 

[Black Dog]

Me too!....could that be a 'laughie'?

"Otheries" makes me think of photographing ghosts and aliens. (I hate it when those show up in my photographs!)

Without being too cruel... "Otheries" could be pictures of unattractive people (who might be mistaken for aliens).

Though those might be called "ugeries"

*waits to be yelled at for comment*

I prefer the term: un-selfie or non-selfie

You insensitive bastard!

Seriously, I thought your comment was a bit much.

But there is definitely a need to end the selfie thing, so I'll take anything at this point...

 

[Poisson Du Jour]

I'm not into vanity.

For our family vacation on spring break, I put together a slide show of our family and friends.

My self portraits were the biggest hit of the show, my kids had no idea anyone ever thought of it before.

Well where do you think the term "pretties" came from....

That better?

 

[Tony Egan]

Here's one I made earlier...
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Might I suggest that as a superior breed to those frivolous hand-held, digital selfie-makers, we coin anything we make using film and a tripod a "stiffie"?

A stiffie means something else altogether.

I'm glad you broke the ice... But it sure is good for a giggle and nice play with people's stereotypes, don't you think?
'Stiffie' can mean a number of things, but most choose the naughty version...

Many young men now a days like to send stiffie selfies to girls these days as well, I'm not one if them, but I have enough women complaining, it's confusing, stallions showing off I guess... Lol

I suppose this is where digital comes in handy
Using film would take too long; the young men would actually have time to reconsider. Not that they would, but certain excuses could not hold water.

Women do it to me a lot...

Girl:
"Do you think I could model for you? Want to see what I look like?"

Me:
"If you feel comfortable"

Girl:
"Oh I'm totally comfortable, I just hope you think I'm good enough"

Picture picture picture...

Girl:
"What do you think?"

Me:
"You're great let's shoot"

Girl:
"Oh my BF said I can't, sorry..."

Me:
*facepalm*
