Challenge 484: Obama's selfie
The world's press loves a good scandal, and it was generously provided this week when, at the memorial service for Nelson Mandela, a photographer caught Barack Obama, Britain's David Cameron and the Prime Minister of Denmark, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, taking a selfie:



No news media has yet published the photograph captured by Ms Thorning-Schmidt's iPhone. Can we be the first? How hard would it be to reproduce the image she shot?

You'll have to source your own politicians for this one...

Re: Challenge 484: Obama's selfie
Call me dumb if you must..but I'm not familiar with the term "selfie".
I can take a guess (and I have a pretty good imagination), but I'd rather not. So, will someone enlighten me, please?

Hi Joey. A "selfie" is a photograph you take of yourself, usually with your cell phone

Regards.

"Selfie" is the Oxford English Dictionary's word of the year:

I'm intrigued to know which direction ... on second thoughts it's probably best you don't tell us

Looks to me like she is trying to distance herself from the naffness of the proceedings, sensible woman

As so often, once uploaded you find there are changes needed, unfortunately I had managed to overwrite the file. So I had to start over.
