As a cartridge holder staffer , it ’s part of my job to keep afloat of new medium trends , and one of the most inescapable societal medium drift in 2013 was the “ selfie , ” which was call Oxford DictionariesWord of the Year . Chances are you ’ve listen of the term , too . Whether or not you ’ve ever taken a photo of yourself and posted it on your societal media site of choice , you ’ve probably seen , relish or , in some case , rolled your oculus at the selfies taken and shared by your children , other kinfolk fellow member or favorite celebrities . From flower people to baby boomer ( including the president of the United States ) , selfies have become an acceptable form of self - facial expression .
Fannie Merritt Farmer have n’t escaped the selfie fad either — and there ’s a new twisting - off to prove it . Perhaps it ’s the slow days of winter that have helped the “ felfie ” rise to social culture medium stardom in the last match of week . The felfie , in short , is a selfie for farmers , a craze which reportedly begin when TheIrish Farmers Journalcreated a competition for “ Ireland ’s greatest farmer selfie . ” The drift has since exploded internationally with a consecrate website ( felfies.com ) , Facebook Thomas Nelson Page , and , of class , an endless stream of felfies on Instagram and Twitter of gallant farmers posing with their barnyard friends — chickens , goat , pigs , cow , et cetera — or in front of some other farm - shot background .
Selfie spin - offs , like the felfie , might seem a lilliputian more tangible to those who might guess a selfie is , well , a bit trivial , self-loving or a just a big waste of meter . The felfie does n’t just bring attention to the Fannie Farmer , but it seems to celebrate farming as a manner of lifespan in a unproblematic and cocksure style . It also point the phylogenesis of the selfie into something a little more meaningful and focused , which convey me to the newest selfie spawn I read about this calendar week : the “ healthie . ”
The healthie goes beyond a simple ego - photograph of you eat at your favorite pizza joint or standing in front of some city ’s gravid turning point — it ’s a selfie intended to be inspirational or contain a call to action , specifically related to intelligent living . In his recentMind Body Green blog post , Dr. Joel Kahn key out healthie as “ a new photo community of interests of invest , supported wellness warriors . ” He suggests using healthies to inspire others by capturing moments of personal growth and goodly living . I cogitate this is a great suggestion as the end of January nears and all the health goals we set for ourselves on Dec. 31 become overshadowed or replaced by other significant impending farm goals and projects .
Dr. Kahn pass on a leaning of healthie ideas that could inspire others , which made me start to cogitate of a few other ways farmers can capture and fete their moments of farming and respectable living as a style to encourage supporter , class members and others out there in the social stratosphere . Whether you ’re a newbie to the selfie , felfie or healthie trend , or a well - skilful social medium ego - portrait creative person , below are a few other photograph ideas to revolutionize others in 2014 . And once you snap one , be certain to place it toInstagramwith the hashtag # hobbyfarmselfie so we can see it and help spread some farm inspiration !
