Self-portraiture, folk art for the digital age

NYT article on self-portraiture, a new "kind of folk art for the digital age"

"To a certain extent new technology is driving the new self-portraiture. Cellphone cameras and other digital cameras are sold with wide-angle lenses that allow a picture taken at arm's length to remain in focus. Computers are essentially $1,000 darkrooms that permit sophisticated manipulation of images"
