Inception Selfie

This morning, I was trying to take a picture of my hair. Not because I take daily photographs of my hair for my Lovely Locks Log, but because I have to ensure my hair looks half decent for work. The problem with this is, I have no idea how to craft a cool coiffure, so I exist in a world of trial and hairror. See what I did there? Instead of error I wrote ... never mind.

Back to the point, because I don't have a second mirror, I sometimes take photos of my hairstyles to ensure they don't look like a rat's nest with bobby-pins sticking out of it. This morning's hair actually looked pretty good too, but before I snapped a decent picture of the back, I turned the phone on. BAM. The camera was on the wrong way and there was a huge, up close and too personal shot of my face. This never makes me feel attractive. It's almost as if the front camera makes me way uglier than the back camera does.

Anyhow, when I went to turn the phone around, the reflection caught the mirror and I noticed myself in the camera and in that camera too. Then I realized, if I angled the camera just right I could see myself three times over. And a light bulb went off over my head and trumpets played as I thought to myself:

INCEPTION SELFIE.

So, being the total nerd I am, I took the picture in order to share it with all of you. Isn't it magnificent when phones, cameras and mirrors come together in such a highly entertaining way?

Or maybe I'm the only amused by this.

There's a client who comes into my work who fancies up cell phones for a living. He's actually employed by a little known Korean company called Samsung. Yeah, I didn't know Samsung was Korean either. 

Anyway, apparently the Galaxy S5 is well underway and will be out on markets soon. That being said, I'm happy with the Galaxy S4. It has done well by me. Not that I use it for much more than cruising the internet and taking pictures. Granted, out of all the features, the camera is the one I'm most grateful for. 

It takes amazing pictures. Remember that time I took a picture a day for a year? I called it a plog and named all my pictures awesome things like 'crazy sky' and 'rope love'. Taking and posting a picture a day felt like a huge commitment at the time. Compared to writing a post a day for this here 365 Day Challenge it was a walk in the park. 

You can view the pictures I posted here. 

How does this tie in with the new S5? It doesn't. But I was just thinking about how much better my plog would have been if I'd had my S4. It can get up close and personal. 

Here are some of my most favourite pictures I've taken in the last couple months:
