How to Take a Good Selfie (or the art of taking photos of yourself in your bathroom mirror)
-Yesterday (that’s October 19th 2013, future readers – hello, by the way), something truly remarkable happened – the word ‘selfie’ was named the Oxford Dictionaries word of the year, narrowly defeating ‘twerk’ (a topic for another time…or not).
The ‘selfie’ is a beautifully simple concept that involves a person taking a picture of their own face without the assistance of anyone else. Selfies are generally taken on smart phones or tablets and are predominantly taken using mirrors – bathrooms are a particular popular choice of location. After taking a ‘selfie’, it is then tradition to upload the photo to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any of the other social networks you happen to be using.
