Selfies, the ubiquitous personal identifier for millions of people all over the world.
Never really been one for them myself, but I thought I’d try a few and see if I could “art them up” a bit.
Here are seven of my favourites…

I would call them self portraits. One of my blogs is a collaborative project on self portraits: http://strataoftheself.wordpress.com
I wonder if you would give me permission to share some of yours there?
Credit given and a link back to your blog. 🙂

That’s very nice of you. I’m powerless to refuse any sort of collaboration, so whatever you would like to do, now or in the future, is perfectly fine.

Each one has its own story. I love that.
My Accomplice and I were taking selfies years before they were popular! With film cameras!

It’s not the casual and creative self portraits that I object to, it’s the proliferation of duck-faced, self-conscious posing that gets me. Why can’t people be a little more imaginative with their pictures, that’s what I don’t understand.

I just read a very interesting piece on why one person takes many selfies. I think the reasons are as varied as the posters. And, especially when it comes to young women, they likely ARE self-conscious. Society has certainly created many reasons for them to be.
Maybe some people are afraid to get imaginative…but I have many friends who are extremely creative with their selfies, so I know that those folks are out there. =)
