Let me warn you clearly: this is not for the faint of heart. Every year, 100 people are killed or injured in their quest for the perfect selfie. Here’s a visual reminder of how all of this can go wrong.
Whether we like them or not, selfies are part of the world of photography. Indeed, in this narcissistic time fueled by social media, where everyone is the star of the movie of their own life, perhaps more selfies are taken each day than any other type of photo. any other. And with such competition to outdo rivals in the search for likes and likes from strangers, people will have to go through ever more perilous paths to get a hit like no other. any other person. Unfortunately, the consequences are not always positive.
Such was the case recently when Mike Lambresi, a former professional surfer from California in his 50s, attempted to get close to a seaside outcrop he was visiting. No stranger to danger, formerly a big surfer, Lambresi moved closer and closer to the edge of the cliff until it it’s all horribly wrong. He slipped and fell and luckily survived. Unfortunately, he suffered terrible injuries to his foot and heel and has been hospitalized ever since. He may not be able to hold his own. Since 2011, there have been more than 300 selfie deaths and more than 1,000 injuries.
Please let this be a reminder that no photos are worth your life.
