I say typically as I pictured the teenager taking 30 selfie snaps a day for their Snapchat timeline. Or the bro grabbing a quick gym shot for Instagram. To be fair, I should have said stereotypically.

The selfies where you're capturing a moment or something interesting (like a tourist spot) aren't so vapid, but when that tourist destination is filled to the brim with people and a very large percentage have 3-5 foot aluminum poles swinging around it really sucks.

There's still a sense of narcicissim to it when you're streaming your vacation to your Facbook/Snapchat/Instagram feeds real time. I get putting a couple shots up at the end of the night or trip, but I swear I could create an itinerary for some people's vacation down to the half hour.

Whatever happened to gathering the group around and getting someone to snap the shot for you? I don't take a lot of photos on vacation because I like to really soak it all in- and all I take is my iPhone as my camera. So I'll get some goofy shots, some shots with the wife, and maybe some really interesting or beautiful things I just really want to be able to look at again. I might take only 20 photos in a week long trip.
