Absolutely enjoyed this. It’s always so neat to see historic documentation of something we all know and understand well even today!

The perpetual affliction of every generation is to mistakenly presume they have invented everything for the first time....and so humanity similarly suffers the indignity of repeating over and over again the lessons it has 'forgotten' to learn.

Quote by Dylan Moran

Would you please - stop - taking - pictures - on your tiny - annoying (whispering) fucking camera. This is happening to you in real time, you are having the experience. It's not much point to verify that you were at the event when you're actually here.

A fantastic history of the selfie - it subtly takes us back into bygone eras.

Thanks for a thought-provoking post. Can you imagine how devastated portrait artists were when they learned that a camera could take the perfect likeness? That technological revolution must have put generations of artists out of business, and I can’t help but think of what AI might do to our own generation.
