I am not our beloved Alex, nor are myself and Straummy one and the same.

Well... selfie silliness aside...
 
Isn't that considered bootlegging?
 
Like... the thing kids used to get beat up for by the bouncers for having a tape recorder/camera?

That's back when actual music was being played by actual musicians - whereas poseurs and their "beat" thrive on that crap... ;)
 

 
Omfg, that is so true.  LOL LOL LMFAO +1

um...
 
okay?

I once interviewed a young guy for a job who sat down, looked at his phone, started typing and said "ok hold on just let me finish this, I'll be with you in one minute." Needless to say, that scuppered his chances immediately. 
 
I saw a video recently in which a guy was filming the kids trapped on the school bus that got hit by the terrorist truck driver in Manhattan. The whole side of the bus was caved in and the kids were obviously in distress. As he filmed the kids with his phone, he was yelling "someone call 911." Seriously dude? People are so desperate to create the next viral video and get attention on social media that their IQ drops to single digits when they see an opportunity. 

I won't tell the full story here but I saw a pretty brutal accident just as video phones became a thing and some little nut twerper was filming the victims with a sick grin on his face.
 
Let's just say I offered to feed that little bastard his phone and he scuttled off (after he realized I was not mucking about).

Oh, you ought to have been here the couple of years after 9/11 - you'd think Ground Zero would be this sad, sombre place but in actual fact it was a carnival of grinning tourists taking photos of each other and "souvenir" vendors selling these books of full color photos of the explosions and the leapers. Tourists were buying those photo books by the truckload and they looked absolutely thrilled to have them.

When the couple take selfies?
 
 

That just tells me that they were too cheap to hire a photographer.

Maybe he IS a photographer...

Photographer is the one taking the photo of the couple taking a selfie.

The picture was taken by the best man who was trying to take a selfie but had the wrong camera selected and got the bride and groom instead...

Apparently, photography isn't for everyone.....
 
or is it?

Nowadays, most of the photographers that do weddings are not worth one third of their price ... and I managed and printed in a photo lab for 10 years ... most of it is way too mechanical, and has no Life" in it whatsoever ... and at the very least, with a hand held device, you know you had fun getting the piccie taken.
 
90% of that "professional" whatever, is not of any value. It's simply an idiot that could afford a nice camera, but has no talent in seeing the "now" moment!

My friend Dan Baillie is  a great photographer, and especially good at weddings.
