Post all your bad selfies here.

My favourite bad selfie is more than 10 years old (so difficult to find). I had placed the camera on a picnic table aimed at a tree branch with a suitably rural background. I had intended to photograph myself sitting on the tree branch, but accidentally set the timer for 2 seconds rather than 10. Result – a startlingly artistic shot of half of the rear of my shorts in front of a tree branch. If I can find it I’ll post it here.

Have two new bad selfies from last week. Below you’ll see a collection of self-portraits, almost all by retirees (although they look like kindergarten). Which is mine?

Yes, the truth is so obvious, once it’s pointed out.

No. And it’s not the bottom leftmost one either.

Does this even more recent selfie help in identifying the correct sketch?

Feel free to post your own bad selfies here.

Yep.

Other bad selfie is this one, but not really a selfie because I had a professional draw it.

Dang it, I can’t find it. I used to have it as my Facebook picture.

isn’t that just a photo? I mean: Definition: a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media.

the of oneself seems to be pertinent here

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to photograph it, does it make a selfie?

You have no consideration for other species than human.

Looks like you were not wearing trousers for a trouser wearing activity or you were wearing the wrong trousers.

I’ve never posted images of the recurring rash that causes me to want to scratch my skin off, that keeps come back and stayed since the tick nymphs burrowed under my skin in 2014 up Wilson’s creek near Nimbin.
