re: Would you ever purchase a xshot camera extender (aka a "selfie stick")?

I have an odd disdain for the concept of standing in front of camera, and smiling, and calling that a memory. "Hey remember that time we stood there, the same way, over and over again, in front of different backdrops". Thats not a memory. Candid pics are where its at. Or just take pictures as you are experiencing things (without you in them).

Its a losing battle though, so I just smile like a mannequin in front of trees and shite with my friends and family. Begrudgingly though.
