THE SELFIE

In 1839 a man inadvertently took a selfie and processed it on a daguerreotype! Around 1900 Kodak came out with the box camera further allowing folks to take a selfie. Around 2000 the term selfie became part of our vocabulary.

Each day millions of selfies are shot across all aspects of  photography and are sent across the cyberspace. It is truly a phenomenon. Personally I have never shot a selfie.

Photography has been transformed forever. From roll film and two weeks Mail-Away for prints to instantaneous results comes the miracle.  I think it's good for humanity to have this. Makes Polaroid look ancient! Smile!
