No Selfies Day

About No Selfies Day

Every day millions take a self-portrait with their cell phone cameras and post the pictures on social networks. No one knows why.

Here is just one day where nobody takes a "selfie." Observed on the birthday of Philippe Kahn, the inventor of the cell phone camera and the first person known to transmit a photo: a birth picture of his daughter taken in 1997 with his cell phone. 

This holiday was created by Rick Allen and the readers of the Ocala Star-Banner.
