Samuel L. Jackson is legendary for many reasons; his prolific acting career, fondness for expletives, political activism...and selfies? The award-winning actor has a serious penchant for taking awkward selfies with just a fraction of his face in the corner of the frame. The reason behind this bizarre phenomenon? He wants people to know that it's really him taking the photo and posting it to social media. This is refreshing, especially during a time when most celebrities hire people to run their accounts. We've put together a few of his greatest hits for your enjoyment - and you can find more on his Facebook.
Earlier this week, Bored Panda shared the story of Kimiko Nishimoto, an 89 year old woman with a penchant for taking some seriously incredible self-portraits. The Japanese grandmother is relatively new to photography (she's been practicing for 17 years) but as you can see, she definitely has a knack for the art. Nishimoto's lively and humorous work is so popular that electronics giant Epson will be exhibiting her work in Tokyo. We won't be able to make it to Japan for the big show, so this collection of quirky "selfies" will have to do.
Earlier this a man was photographed taking a selfie in front of protests during the G20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany. The very bearded man, who was clad in all black, definitely has the "hipster" look. After a meme mocking the selfie-taker went viral on Twitter, the photoshop edits, depicting our hero in dangerous and inappropriate situations, started pouring in.
