With a mirror.

We didn’t do selfies. Someone else would chisel our image into stone.

With a timer and a tripod.

We weren’t so self-absorbed.

You aimed the camera at yourself, same as today. I have some I did of my mug. You just had to wait longer to see the result.

The group selfies were done with a counter.

Bigger cameras, longer arms. :)

Similar but with less fanfare…..

“Well, you’d hire an artist…”

Poloroid..

The flashbulb effect was amazing.

I remember something about a timer camera. Set the timer, get the gang together, and the photo would be taken at the time one would set it. At that time all I could say was WOW!
