Point well taken about taking selfies. It's hard for a normal, discreet sort of person to force themselves to take group or pair photos at a reunion or meet-up. Seems the sort of thing one's obnoxious Aunt Griselda would insist on doing. But, after my first year of traveling, I discovered I had way too many lovely landscape and sunset shots, not enough of the people who had made the journey so memorable. So now I'm that obnoxious Aunt Griselda, although I do forget sometimes, when swept up in the experience. But I try, even if they are ragged candid shots of the campfire, or one of a friend alone if necessary. Often in tourist spots, a desperate glance will result in a fellow traveler volunteering to take the shot.
