This Guy Cosplayed as the Convention Center Building

There are so many cosplays out there that it can be hard to think of something no one else has done. At the New York Comic Con a few weeks ago, someone came up with a completely new an original cosplay costume -the convention center itself. It was spotted by DC comics writer Scott Snyder, who posted it on his Twitter and it quickly became viral.

The reactions from fans on Twitter are pretty brilliant -you can read many of them over on Guacamoley.

New annoying Buzzword of the moment "Selfie".

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

I believe the main difference between the pre-internet 'selfies' (among which I include painted self portraits) and the selfie phenomenon of today is the massive scale of it. This makes it possible to compare they way we perceive ourselves and want to be perceived. And what do we see when we make those comparisons? We are all te same:

While this image could certainly be considered the first selfie (*gag*), it is not the first picture of a human being and certainly not the first "light picture". That honour belongs to Nicéphore Niepcé, with his "View from the window at Le Gras".

The first known photograph of a person is from 1838, by Joseph-Louis Daguerre. It is of the Boulevard du Temple in Paris, and shows a street scene devoid of people except for an unknown gentleman standing and having his shoes shined. He was the only one in the scene standing still long enough to be captured by the nearly 10-minute exposure.
