The Origins of the Selfie
Could this be the first selfie ever taken? Historians seem to think so. This particular shot was taken by a woman 120 years ago in 1900. She is seen taking a picture of herself while standing in front of her mirror with a camera. We bet she’s turning in her grave at the amount of selfies that have taken over the world ever since. The photograph portrays human curiosity in beautiful black and white overtones.

The Infamous Post-Combat Look
This picture is one for the history books. Taken shortly after forty-eight hours of combat in an unknown region back in 1944, this US Marine is giving what is now famously dubbed the “thousand-yard stare”. Poets have used the eyes of the man in question as inspiration for capturing the troubles that war brings to the soul, and the photograph lives on all these years later thanks to modern technology.
