#Selfies

I recently posted on FB that I think it's really strange how trendy it has become to take a picture of yourself in the arm-extended, camera in front of your face fashion. Or as we now know it, taking a "selfie." And to make it even cooler and more relevant, we'll throw in a hashtag. Why? Because things are just cooler with hashtags. #truth

But my point was, this whole #selfie thing isn't new! I've been taking pictures like this since I first started taking pictures with disposable cameras, in my limited 27 shots (better make them count!), and paying to have them developed at CVS or Wal-Greens.

So, I went on a quest to prove it! I searched through all my Facebook pictures (so, keep in mind, this is just limited to the thousands [seriously] pictures that I have on Facebook. I'm sure there are some that date back even further in printed form), and picked out just a few of the many selfies I found. Disclaimer: Some may argue that true selfies should only involve yourSELF and no one else. In which case, I don't have as many of those. But I DO have some that are not new!
