This is the earliest known picture of the first online daters.

Good ol' boys did it too.

I knew a kid when I was in the Marines who carried an Instamatic camera with him all the time. About every third pic was one that he took of himself.

Better quality than most I see today.

At least she's not sticking her tongue out and making gang signs.

Never know...she might be checking her hand-held mirror later.

Oblivious to this advice:

 

Tuscaloosa Independent Monitor, Saturday, Feb. 18, 1860, page 1, col. 5 --

GIRLS, DON’T DO IT – There is a practice, quite prevalent among young ladies of the present day, which we are old fashioned enough to consider improper. We allude to their giving daguerreotypes of themselves to young men who are merely acquaintances. We consider it indelicate in the highest degree. We are astonished that any young girl should hold herself as cheap as this. With an accepted lover it is of course all right. Even in this case the likeness should be returned if the engagement should by any misunderstanding cease. If this little paragraph should meet the eye of any young girl about to give her daguerreotype to a gentleman acquaintance, let her know that the remarks made by young men when together, concerning what is perhaps on her part but a piece of ignorance or imprudence, would if she heard them, cause her cheeks to crimson with shame and anger. “Were it a sister of ours,” we have often said, with a flashing eye – were it a sister of ours! But that not being the case, we give this advice to anybody’s sister who needs it, with our best bow, and most anxious desire that she should at all times preserve her dignity and self-respect.

I like the selfies that just show clear blue sky from the idiot taking his/her photo and falling over a cliff.

And cleaned her room first.

She could be twerking. Hard to tell. 

Love the photo!
