Westerners used to take photos with no people in them if at all possible, maybe to show how they have been and seen paradise, and captured it artistically.

Perhaps the selfie craze embraces humanity by putting oneself and maybe collaterally others too, smack bang in the middle of a slightly 'unusual' place or situation.
