Hubby and I had lunch at a Café just outside Queenstown. We were sitting inside while this beautiful young lady was sitting at a table outside. I was intrigued watching her set up her self phone and take a series of selfies.
I happened to read the following today:
'Psychologists believe that taking selfies can become a dangerous addiction. More often than not, those addicted to taking and posting selfies are suffering from body dysmorphic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or depression, all of which can significantly interfere with your daily functioning. British psychologist Dr David Veal, says selfie-addiction is a “mental health issue with an extremely high suicide rate.'
Not sure about the above as so many people do take selfies, but this young lady sure seemed taken with her looks. I felt slightly mean taking her photos, but I did have a long lens and there was no way she would have seen me even if she was taking notice of anything but herself!
A great series of selfies. My stepdaughter is the queen of selfies and has really low self esteem. Social media has certainly changed things and the easily available phone camera’s.
sure she is a beautiful young lady. i do take self-portraits (not selfies) but i do not understand, and doubt if i ever could, the obsession of taking a photo of oneself almost anywhere. i have rarely taken a self portrait outside of my home, but i've done it based on themes not just for the sake of taking a photo of myself. very nice collage though. aces!
Great series of photos and collage. I see the girls come out on the pier where I get my sunset shots, and they are making all kinds of pictures of themselves. Not sure what they are doing with them, but it sure seems like they would have a lot to go through.
