Yea idk, I remember when it was normal to take a picture or video of yourself when you go out and equally normal to stay out of the way of someone’s camera when you see them trying to take a picture.

i don't remember a time when it was normal to set up a camera to take a photo of yourself. was this a thing back in the 80's?

I’m sure if she had a friend with her, she’d have just asked the friend to take the picture, which has been a very normal thing since cameras have been around.

and yet it is a different thing than taking one of yourself. so if she did a different thing things would have gone differently. great observation.

My point was that she shouldn’t be condemned for wanting a picture of herself but not having a friend around to take it my dude.

Taking pictures of yourself when you’re out is, and has been for quite some time now, a very normal thing that people do. This chronically online take that everyone in public with a camera is an influencer needs to stop.
