The Very First Selfie

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who love selfies, and those who hate fun. Just kidding. But either you hate selfies or you love them,i don't care.. i love selfies.

I want you to know that I love it when you guys post pictures of yourself. They give me a little window into your life. I love your pictures because I love seeing what you’re wearing – the outfits.



I love seeing how you do your hair and makeup. I love when you take selfies in your house. It’s neat to see where you live. When your place is cluttered, it makes me feel better about my own messy bedroom.

But i was also wondering who took the very first selfie ever?

So i searched on google... and this guy appeared.

Robert Cornelius (March 1, 1809 – August 10, 1893) was an American pioneer of photography and lamp manufacturer.

The world’s first selfie, taken in 1839 by Robert Cornelius from Philadelphia, was also the first ever photographic portrait of a human being.

On the back he wrote “The first light Picture ever taken. 1839.”

So i was like "Wow, cool..so this guy took the very first selfie ever? Isn't Amazing? ".
