Recently I saw a picture of Hilary Clinton at a public event. She was looking out at the crowd smiling and waving but the entire crowd had their backs to her with one arm up in the air. What were they doing, you ask? They were all trying to take a selfie with Hilary.

Selfies are a modern day phenomenon. Every where you go, someone has their phone turned to themselves to memorialize a moment.

There are all sorts of theories about how to ensure the best selfie. The angle of the photo, sometimes skewed to the side, how to position the phone in your hand to get the best shot. And then there is the ultimate tool -- the selfie stick.

As for me, I need a little advice. I am an utter failure at the selfie. I am unsatisifed with every selfie I have ever taken and to top it all off, apparently watching me take a selfie is a pretty funny event, at least my children seem to think so.

Are you a selfie expert?
