Bogle family opened up their family sunflower farm to photographers on 20 July 2018. However, the mild boost to Bogle Seeds farm soon turned into “zombie apocalypse,” as the farm owner describes it.

Paraglider accidentally drops phone from 2,500 feet – the ultimate drop test?
There you are, paragliding away at 2,500ft, so you whip out your phone to take a quick selfie. Who wouldn’t, right? Well, this one unnamed paraglider thought the same. Not only did he pull out his phone, but he also put it on the end of a selfie stick. After a few seemingly successful shots, he pulls it back in and as he removes the phone from the stick, it falls and plummets to the ground. From 2,500ft.
Is this the ultimate accidental phone drop test? The paraglider is also wearing a camera on his helmet, presumably a GoPro, but from this footage, once the phone slips, it’s impossible to spot.

Man mauled to death shooting selfie with a bear on way home from a wedding
I thought the wave of stupid selfie deaths had ended, although it seems you’re still more likely to die from a selfie than a shark attack. The latest in the long line of no-longer-with-us selfie shooters is Prabhu Bhatara. The Independent report that after stopping to go to the toilet on his way home from a wedding, Bhataru spotted an injured bear in the Nabarangpur district of Odisha in India.
They say that fellow passengers suggested it might not be the best idea for him to take a photo with the animal. But it seems that he knew better and tried anyway. After getting close to the bear, it struck out, which was followed by a struggle between the two. They also report that a stray dog came to the man’s defence and bit the bear, while onlookers, umm… looked on, but it failed to deter the bear.
This woman took a selfie every day from age 14 to 22 to make an 8 year timelapse
Very long-term timelapse projects such as this have started popping up more and more lately. Given the time when such technology became available that we always had a camera with us in our pockets, it’s not surprising. It was around 8 or so years ago that we started to see not-completely-terrible cameras appearing in our phones.
Most of the projects like this that we’ve seen so far, though are made by men. This one, though, isn’t. It’s been created by a design student who goes by the name Eadington. She says that she was inspired to start the project after seeing some other selfie-a-day projects. and it’s mesmerising to see the dramatic change in appearance from such a young age until now.

While some museums are banning selfies, there is now a museum that does exactly the opposite. The Museum of Selfies is a real thing and opened recently in Los Angeles. As the museum’s website reads, this isn’t just a museum of selfies, but a museum about them. So, what is there to know about selfies, anyway?
