When we take pictures, we want to capture a moment…something that we can cherish later. With the advent of smart phones equipped with cameras, taking ‘selfies’ has become a craze of sorts. People go to extreme lengths to take pictures of themselves in the most bizarre situations. Sadly, for some unlucky ones, some of those moments turned out to be their last. This need for increasingly putting oneself at risk to take more spectacular and risky self portraits to outdo others on social networking platforms, needs to stop immediately.
