Extended Selfie

The Extended Selfie is the upgraded non-lame version of the social media phenomenon known as Selfie. Selfie by definition is a photo taken in which the photographer is also the subject of the photograph. The Extended Selfie has been made popular by the lead singer of a well known central Florida band called TUG. Like the Selfie, the Extended Selfie is taken of oneself, but unlike the Selfie it is taken in video form and recorded to music, additionally the subject or subjects in the video must remain still or you will have an Extended Selfie FAIL. Extended Selfies are purposely cheesy, humor filled and mock the original Selfie concept. Correctly executed Extended Selfies have been known to inspire poetry, get one laid, soil ones clothing and/or CHANGE YOUR LIFE! Pick your poses wisely, but more importantly pick your music choice carefully!

Ninja Selfie 

Taking a “secret” selfie with someone else’s phone, while waiting to take a photo for them, for them to find later. This is done as a fun prank.

I asked the couple if they would like me to snap a pic of them and I took a few Ninja selfies while they got ready.

dog selfie

When a dog owner positions their beloved companion to appear to have taken their own selfie.

My dog is so incredibly smart that he figured out how to take his own dog selfie and then next he opened up his own Instagram account!
