Honestly miss video store, so much thought went in to what I was going to rent, or the satisfaction of waiting so long from when it went from the theater to when it became available to rent

The first portable camera (obscura) was invented in the 1600s which was a refinement of a five hundred year old invention. Portable cameras were used in the American Civil War.
You’re trying to make a cultural argument and that’s fine.
But you’re also making historically inaccurate claims as well. If you really want to argue that a handheld camera as being the sole requirement for a selfie that would be the 1880s.
Give it up as a well intentioned misunderstanding? 😉

Haha now that you say it I can see the resemblance. Actually without the stache, he looked more like Robert De Niro. I'll post up another pic.

He was born 1869. So, that have to be later. Found 1923 as a possible year. But, it's not 1869 at least

I just asked her. She had it for three years and had to sell it when she shipped out to Spain. She said she sold it to a guy named Darrell and she cried.

She paid 2k for it in 1981. It was a '72 duster.

I meant to say a portable camera, not just digital or smartphone but my brain wasn’t working. Obviously you couldn’t do that with the type of early camera that guy was using all the way back in the mid-19th century.

If the shot missed the vest it could still prove to be quite fatal?

Why the need to test with a human on the other end? Why not a watermelon or a pumpkin?

Yes it does! If you had a good cut along with the perm, all you had to do it wash it, pik it out and out the door you went.
