Selfies
Just read that taking a selfie has in 2015 killed more people in the World than those being mauled by sharks.
India is the worst place for these kind of deaths which was 27 in 2015. They had an episode yesterday where 3 young girls were taking a selfie on some rocks by the sea and they all fell in.
A man saved two of them but went back in to save the last
girl and they both drowned. Poor guy.
Another few mad ones for you. One died taking himself with
a rattlesnake, another with a Bison, and another one where
a Japanese tourist fell down the steps of the Taj Mahal.
So make sure you are sat down or standing safe somewhere
before you do this

Re: Selfies
If youre alone and want to have a photo of yourslef in the place you are visiting there isnt much choice...Gone are the days you could safely hand your camera over to a stranger and ask them to take a photo of you!I looked through my photos this week (I got 50 free prints) and realised that at a sand sculpture exhibition there are 145 photos and not one has me in it!

I don't see the attraction of having a photograph of yourself
it's all rather strange to me.

Re: Selfies
Selfies are not something new, photographers have done this for years where they set the camera up on a tripod and use auto timer to get themselves in the picture. This one I took to demonstrate the worth of my mobility scooter, in my right hand I had a small remote to trigger the camera.
