The "Selfie". Is it narcissism, loneliness, or simply the desire to take a picture with people in it coupled with the abhorrence of begging one's friends and family to pose for a picture and the inevitable groaning and complaining that ensues? It's actually a lot easier to take pictures of oneself than it is to take pictures of other people. Selfies are a big fad these days. There is even an upcoming workshop in self-portraiture at the New England School of Photography - maybe I should sign up for it?
