David Brier does James Dean_Selfie

The Inadvertent Selfie

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Selfie of David Brier doing his best James DeanLet me state this for the record: This selfie was not planned.

Let me also state for the record: I do not smoke nor do I ride a motorbike.

But I do do my own stunts.

Comparing this to Ellen DeGeneres’ Oscar selfie (an inevitable comparison that many will make), my selfie has no Hollywood A-listers. No millions of TV viewers. No product placement by Samsung for their Galaxy smartphone.

Nope. Just me, a motorbike and some James Dean attitude.

With Italian Night,
A Selfie Is Born

I was simply walking and saw this restaurant having an Italian theme night with street signs, great food and an Italian motorbike.

Inspired, I took a shot of me on the bike. Sitting on this bike, I gave it my best James Dean “attitude.”

What you see above (with a close-up below) is the result (the cigarette and smoke were added afterwards). It was the words above me that magically appeared out of nowhere…. 😉

Ellen DeGeneres,
Here Are My Outtakes
