Dumba$$!!!! Said with all respect as I love him very much. We own a photography studio, and NO I am not walking around with one of those, I am not going to be one of those, and neither are you honey. I have yet to really see it in action, and will probably be like you and snicker at them and it. I still get embarrassed at the whole public selfie thing, and rarely if ever do it. I ask the kids to take my picture, and then the hubs insists on the whole selfie thingy as a family. As for banning them at public places such as museums, I agree with that move 100 %!!!!! :)BritishMumUSAhttp://www.britishmumusa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-36178606499840168942015-03-19T07:40:59.523-04:002015-03-19T07:40:59.523-04:00The flip side is they can double as a baton of sor...The flip side is they can double as a baton of sorts for self defence.

I think that's what I'll call them from now on. <br /><br />When I travel I just ask fellow tourists to help with photos (and then of course return the favor). You're right, these shots tend to look *way* better than typical selfie shots. Also, it's just nice to say hello to other people and talk with them for a minute -- it humanizes the travel experience.<br /><br />I can *sort of* understand selfie sticks for solo travel, or for traveling to a place that's either remote (i.e. no other tourists around) or crowded (i.e. your tripod/camera could get stolen). But I don't think I could ever use one myself. They're just too ridiculous.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635108786578977860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-18017208995726894732015-03-14T15:43:36.550-04:002015-03-14T15:43:36.550-04:00I said yesterday that I would never say I would ne...I said yesterday that I would never say I would never ever get a selfie stick but the possibility right now seems small. I always feel like a twat when taking selfies in public. To me this stick makes it even more pathetic. I just can't. trininistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06868403308065934696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-18724192507043992782015-03-14T13:49:57.137-04:002015-03-14T13:49:57.137-04:00I agree, this phenomena is everywhere...*sigh*..

Not helping with the decisions, but thanks for the post! :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
