Failed Bathroom Selfie

July 2, 2017 By: Summer Samba41 Comments

Dinner is late because my human spent a bunch of time in here taking photos of herself! She needed a photo for a project she is working on. Then, when she looked through her files, she discovered she didn’t have a photo of herself without a cat. She needed cat-less photo because the other person involved used a photo of herself with a cat — and since it’s not a cat project, she felt two photos with cats would be a little much. So she used a blank wall in this sunny bathroom to take a photo.

The thing is, my human hates photos of herself and avoids cameras pointed at her as much as possible. She must have taken dozens of photos, and the whole time she was muttering under her breath and saying mysterious things like “med spa.” Finally she got one she felt she could fix in Photoshop. By then, I was in the bathroom, wondering where my food was. Since dinner was late already, I figured I might as well take a bathroom selfie. So I grabbed the iPhone and got working. Fortunately, I am more photogenic than my human so I figured I’d be done in a few moments.

All I needed to do was adjust the angle and I would be done!

Wait a minute! Since when did I grow an extra tail?

I guess she is wondering where dinner is too.

Well, it’s not going to arrive until I get this selfie done! So I had better get to it.

Ugh! I give up.

    It worked for us, Summer! We got to see both you and Binga! 🙂

    Tell your human our human usually avoids cameras like the plague so she understands, “med spa”, completely ;p

    Selfies in the bathroom are rarely a good idea. There are too many unattractive things that end up in the background. It was nice of Binga to try to help.

    I like pictures of myself, but not online. I do have plenty of selfies on facebook for some reason. I noticed that some people who don’t like pictures of themselves show pictures from when they were kids. I reversed that. I use a filter to make me look like an old man.

    Hmm, maybe your peep could have just had a picture of you rather than the two of you? I do like Binga’s sense of timing, NOT, but if you needed a retina scan for a security pass for Binga just gave the perfect image.
