Who needs a "Selfie Stick" anyway?

I detest taking pictures with my smartphone, which may just be my massive insecurity, or incompetence. If you listen to the Z Morning Show on a regular basis, Sabrina is always teasing me about having to take 20 pictures before I find one that doesn't make me want to hurl.

Photographer Richard Schabetsberger has put together a video of some rather creative smartphone photography tips & tricks that would make Kim Kardashian jealous. Something a simple as a pair of sunglasses, or a pinhole, can make your endless stream of selfies look hella cool.

Not all eight of these tips are easy, but I'm sure someone laughed out loud the first time they saw a selfie stick. So get out and enjoy the summer of 2015 and take many fantastic pics!
