Today is the kick-off for the Kickin’ It Old Skool Blog-a-thon.
It’s 31 days of blog prompts through December. I’m not entirely sure what I’ve gotten myself into. Oh well. Here we go.
Selfie is a rather new term, but you know what it’s about. But old school, what’s that about? Selfies were different in the age before cell-phone cameras. Sure you could try to take them with a film camera, but you never knew what you’d find.
Here’s me doing what one might have done to get a selfie back in the film camera days. This was way back in 2001 or 2002 and I’d just gotten my first point-and-shoot camera.
Now with modern cameras, I take selfies all the time. This one I like in particular. I think it was my first helicopter ride ever.
And this one I only took last week, the day I gave my infamous pre-Thanksgiving lecture on how turkeys really are dinosaurs.
My students seemed to enjoy the hat.
So that’s day one. Let’s see where this goes…

Awesome!! I love the first one especially – using a film camera to get a “selfie”. Do “youngsters” even know what film IS anymore…? =) Looking forward to getting to know you better this month!
