Selfies, do you ever take them? I’m a photography and love to take photos, I’m not one for taking photos of people, though. Photo of plants, insect, landscape is more the photos I will take. Now when it coming to taking photos of myself it’s almost an NO Go I like being the one who is taking the photos. Yesterday however I was getting ready to go out the book and pick up my mobile/cell phone and for some unknown reason I decided I would take a photo of myself. The photo I’ve posted here is the photo I took, I just hope it’s not too scary to look at. Do you ever take selfie’s or are you like me, don’t have many photos of yourself? Would you post a selfie here?

When I was young I hated being photographed and I hated seeing myself in a photo! Can you believe it? Then blackberry was invented and people on Bbm challenging me to take a photo of me. That was when the word selfie was even invented. But then I got older lol and got tired of taking selfies. But still do it once in awhile. That photo won't scare anybody Kevin!

@toniganzon I think many people do hate their photo being taken, it's only the few that do.

@kevin1877uk I tend to make myself the laughingstock of the picture, all of my other friends are very photogenic, even when others are taking the picture.

Like you I like taking pictures of other things rather than myself, I occasionally take a selfie of myself, but it's usually sO I can practice editing my photos, and that's it.

@kevin1877uk There was a time when I didn't include myself in any pictures. Then I realized the importance of having pictures for my family to keep in years to come.

Is Selfie a derivative form of Selfish @kevin1877uk ? I have a cell phone but it is only used in case of emergency. Besides, I wouldn't want to scare the hell out of everybody here.

I used to take a lot of selfies. Nowadays not really into taking selfies anymore. I'm getting too conscious about my looks. I don't really post selfies anywhere not even here I prefer privacy.

And I don't blame you either for not posting here, I guess it's not for everyone who takes photos of themselves and puts them online.

I must admit, I am not a selfie person. I never like the way I look in most pictures and I am not a good selfie taker either. Oh well, I guess this is why I don't have Instagram or the other account :-)
