Selfie craze!

It's not a very interesting photo for Paris lovers (even though you can see a bit of the background - including to top of the Arch of Triumph! - but I did not resist taking a shot of these two tourists (or so I think!) trying to make the perfect selfie! It took them at least 5 attempts before they managed, even though they're using a GoPro that can be remotely controlled by a phone! I can relate though ;-))

  1. Admittedly, I'd rather take shots of the scenery! What a view!

  2. Funny shot and oh so true - people spend way too much time trying to get the perfect "selfie" - they even miss out just being in the moment in a beautiful city.

  3. Of course this young man would think I'm an old fuddy-duddy, but I think this picture is hilarious.

  4. AHA! That's it! That extender thing he's got. Is that the GoPro? Is that how you get...the Tenin Perspective? I just don't believe you lie on the sidewalk half the time.

  5. Le cliché saisi dans l'instant fait sourire, c'est vrai # selfie !!! S'il n'y avait le haut de l'arc de triomphe, j'aurais pensé qu'il s'agissait d'une scène prise sur un bateau mouche :))
    Mais tu indiques en lieu : parking Haussmann Galeries Lafayette ? Ce n'est pas plutôt le top floor ? En tous les cas, c'est une photo qui m'est agréable.
