“Ban the selfie,” rails the writer in an Observer op-ed that I read not long before we left home. Perhaps the animus toward such self-centeredness is well placed.
But (with Colloquio spoletino poised artfully behind?) a shot of our “Words Over Cappuccino” just might avoid offense, even if it catches the barrier’s top Rail.
Not crazy about them myself(ie), but this doesn’t even look like one, just a really nic pic.
You raise an excellent question of definition (as it relates to the genre), one I hadn’t considered. Op-ed’s long gone from the archive, so I guess I’ll just have to ponder the “selfie” on my own.
