Self, self, self. What a generation we have going here.
It's all about me! That looks so stupid.

When I travel, I go with family or friends and we take turns getting everyone into beautiful scenes.
When I am out and about and see a family taking photos by switching people around so everyone is in at least one photo, I normally ask if I can help by taking a photo of everyone at the same time. I have taken hundreds over the years of groups of people. It is my pleasure to help out in a small way, and my offer of help has never been turned down.

I hope she has that camera well secured on the pole and doesn't lose it in one of those hot pools. When I was there two years ago, it was sad to see all the hats, bags, paper, plastic, and other garbage that littered the ground around the pools and geysers. There's nothing wrong in wanting to memorialize a trip to a beautiful place like Yellowstone, and if she is traveling alone, she really doesn't have much of an option for taking a photo of herself - unless she asks someone else to do it for her. I, for one, want to keep my ugly mug out of a beautiful photo. :-D :-D

Just be careful who you ask to take your photo. I have heard of cases where the person has run off with the camera. I only ask people in a wheelchair to take mine.

LOL! It did kind of look like a golf club, that was my first impression too!

I'll bet this young girl got a better picture of herself and the back ground than the on you submitted.

Player, it's a brave new world out there and you're not in it. Do you find it appalling just because it's a young person or because they seem to enjoy themselves as they selfie themselves and their friends??
I just hope your kids and grandkids are more like her and less like you!
Get over it :lol:

Well I just got back to this thread and saw your nasty reply. What's your problem? Is my opinion not okay with you. You see cool and tuned in I see a self absorbed nihilist that's more more absorbed with what she's doing than where she is.
I just don't get why you need to be on the attack. You don't know me. Maybe you're just a mean person.

You know, fly, I got something out of your post and it made me rethink my posting. Kids do want to share where they are and what they're doing with their friends and at that age their friends are more important than just about anything. The difference in tone between your post and Sharpshooter's makes all the difference. You say it in a way that opened my eyes. He said it in a way that pissed me off.
Thanks.

Yeah me too about the ugly mug. Who wants to see that. I saw a Hotwheels car in one of the steam vents. Some kid must have dropped it. Oops.

I know some here didn't get it. My point was they miss the significance of the place because they're absorbed in what their friends will think.

I didn't mention this when this thread was fresh but as I agree that there many self absorbed that occupy much of social media but just as SS may not know you, you don't that girl. It seems to me that there is a time and place for such a device. Who among us has not used a self timer or remote to take a "snap shot" of our group or family at a destination to memorialize that experience for future resurrection of the memory or experience. Isn't this a form of a selfie? This question is to all who summarily pass judgment.
