I take selfies.
I mean, I start to think that it’s not a total shame anymore to do my settings, put my camera in a nice angle and run to pose in front of my lense.
I remembered my road trip three years ago and even if I like doing photography for fun and take others in picture, I regret a little bit not to have more pictures of myself in front of the Mount Cook, at this amazing beach in Australia or in the jungle in Vietnam.
I’m traveling on my own, means that if I don’t take selfies, or self portraits, call it like you want, nobody will take me in picture and I want to watch at my stupid face in Angkor Wat when I’ll be 70 years old.
I’m not going to teach you that Asian take a lot of selfies and it even starts to be in the culture. I mean that young and old people are posing in front of their camera or smartphone in any kind of situations and they don’t really understand why there is so much problems about that. Vanity is considered a real bad sin in the western culture so you have to ban the self portrait of your vocabulary if you want to be… respected? I had a lot of stares from people doing the pictures of myself during my trip, or when I take my go pro in the train put in on my bag and pose, watching the landscape pretending that it is not a “mise en scene” but really, I start to not give a fuck about it and just think about all the great memories I will have looking back at this video later.
I’m still not an expert on posing, it’s like an art here. Maybe I should take some lessons?
