CHICAGO — There are selfies for every occasion, outfit, haircut, new pair of glasses, and reflective work of art, and then there are accidental selfies in Craigslist mirrors. Are these windows onto the soul or just portals-for-sale that happen to end up on a smartly curated single-concept Tumblr blog?
Adrian, the digital dude at London’s Horniman Museum, created the selfies with the Walrus Pinterest board, which inspired Culture Themes blog to make January 22 #MuseumSelfie day. This is a selfie day for those who work at museums, adore museum mascots or just like to visit museums. If you participate in this day, make clear how your #museumselfie is different from a typical #artselfie.
The most exhilarating selfie we saw this week? That prize definitely goes to the self-titled “most amazing selfie of 2014,” which was shot by a man who survived a plane crash off the coast of Hawaii. Another term for this could be “the survival selfie.”
This week’s selfies offer moments of self-reflection for all who are interested in seeing themselves in a new light.
