Through My Lens: Selfie Sticks

When selfie sticks first came out...I didn't take selfies. OR IF I did, it was of my feet. LOL  Tim and I have a lot of pictures of our feet. Hey, if it was good enough for Neil Armstrong on the moon...

Anyway. I never bought a selfie stick, but recently I received one at Booklovers Con 2019. I took it with me on our 30th Anniversary trip. So when our flight was delayed...we tried it out. 




And since that worked... we took another on the moving sidewalk from the airport to the train.







And since it was readily available...we took one at lunch.








Then it was at Chicago's Union Station. Recognize these steps? It's a scene from the Untouchables with Kevin Costner.







This one is in front of the train route map. 






And another in our train compartment.









Most of the time it was sooo much faster to just stick the phone up and click.  Like when you're standing in a moving line to board your train.





Or when a lovely woman switches compartments with you. Yes, she had a family car, gave it to us, and took our two-seater for the trip.  It was so wonderfully kind. We later had dinner with her.

  2. I have to say, Angi, those pics look great...not as awkward as some selfies are. Most of the ones I try, I don't use because it looks like my reflection in one of those crazy Fun House Mirrors! ;) Love your pics of you and Tim. OMG! I do recognize those stairs! Have the DVD of the Untouchables. Great blog. Thanks for sharing!
