Here's the deal; I am philosophically opposed to selfie-sticks. But when you travel alone, to get a picture of you, doing your thing on the other side of the world, you have only two choices...
- Give your phone to a random stranger, ask them to take a semi decent shot with a device they are unfamiliar with and pray they give it back afterwards.
OR
- Practice taking selfies before you go so that when the crucial moment is upon you, despite the rain, aching muscles, exhausted brain and "wine effect", you have something to remember the occasion by. (Something that doesn't make you look like every mile you walked didn't cost an IQ point, preferably!)
So, yeah... I practice selfies.
Want to see a few of them? Pretty sure I'm getting better!

First Attempt: Summer of 2015
Still trouble with focus and lightning... And hair.
By the first day of Camino, I was getting the hang of it!
Getting better at looking at the lens! :-)
Frowning again.
Not every one is a winner. Hahaha.
Too tired to sit up and yet, managed a selfie! That's a win.
Memories of a lifetime, captured in a single shot.
Or just documenting a new scarf.
Occasional oops' to be expected.
Dallice's road trip
2016 and more shots are kept than deleted
