What is National Selfie Day?
Thanks to social media and the smartphone, June 21st recognizes a form of self-portrait that wouldn't exist without them; it's National Selfie Day. We're encouraged to take creative (appropriate) selfies and post them on social media.

Although the act of taking a selfie predates social media, smartphones, and the Oxford Dictionary, the popularity of taking these self-portraits continues to rise. And taking them gets more convenient all the time. Selfie sticks and multi-functional camera phones make it all too convenient to photograph these kinds of photographs as well as group selfies (aka groupies).
Selfies have become so common that the most common types of selfies are earning names for themselves. The bulk of them are about capturing a moment in time, though some are limited to a snapshot. After all, they are called "selfies." They usually feature a single individual, and that's the person taking the picture. However, not all of them are about the photographer. A few of them are worth checking out, and we've compiled a list of them that are worth checking out.
