Although taking a selfie may predate social media, smartphones, and the Oxford Dictionary, the popularity of taking these self-portraits continues to rise. And getting them is getting more convenient all the time. Selfie sticks and multi-functional camera phones make it all too convenient to photograph these kinds of photos as well as group selfies (aka groupies).

Selfies have become so common that the most common types of selfies are earning names for themselves.. Most of them are about capturing a moment in time, though some are simply a snapshot. After all, they are called "selfies" after all. They usually feature a single individual, and that's the person taking the picture.' However, not all of them are about the photographer. A few of them are worth checking out, and we've compiled a few of them.
