Fun looking at these - I have a selfie challenge this month with a group and you must do it without showing the camera. Got some ideas from these - Thanks guys
@peterdegraaff I wish I was that brave, but you will not ever see a nude selfie of me... good on ya for having the courage to embrace who you are and live in the moment!
Here's my only one so far, though I'm challenging myself to do at least one a month. Especially looking at these and the other recent selfies thread, I'm totally going to try less traditional ones next time! You 365 people never cease to inspire!
Last July I followed a movie challenge for the month, it got me in front of the camera. Selfies are a challenge but I am learning a great deal & they aren't as daunting now as I first thought of doing one. I have been challenged to do a few as well & finished my projet with one.
My take on Duck Soup & Animal House
@peterdegraaff Ha Ha Ha, nope about as nude as you will see me is in my bikini... My hubby would die, he would not see the artistic value in it and I would not have the guts to go through with it ;)
I've had the braces since last May...still trying to figure out: do I smile big and let my lips go past the braces? or close my lips and let my lips bulge. Hmmmm. come on May 2013!
I was one of those "I'm more comfortable behind the camera" types and had a LOT of trouble with self-portraits initially. However, selfies are really a great exercise: they help build confidence (in your photography and in who you are in general) and they also help increase your sensitivity towards your subjects, especially when taking portraits of others. I think everyone should try to do at least a handful of them throughout their projects. :-)
Here are a couple of mine from my 2011 project:
And the only one (so far... ) for the 2013 project:
@wayoflife I am not an expert on shat defines a selfie, but I would say any shot that has you in it and you actually took the picture would be a selfie ;) I am pretty sure reflections and shadows count.
@shirljess It depends, if the selfie should be the main subject. My photo above shows the street with a mirror. The main purpose is not to show me and it is not a portrait.
My most recent:

My take on Duck Soup & Animal House
But one more cheerful one ....
And my second a bit of fun with my children ;-)
I really don't know how to take a decent picture of myself. ;-)
My first challenge I entered, and I believe the only one I won all year!
My first attempt at Selfie Sunday...
Randoms:
And my favourite.
Year 2 365's pics as a mosaic:
Took me a year and a half on the site to really do one, now I do think they are a blast.
And here's another one from the summer.
This one was quite a departure for me, but still has the most views/comments/favs out of all my photos.
My first and only selfie
