HOLIDAY SELFIE

Traditionally, a few days before Christmas, an annual meeting of our employees was held. Among the sounds of joyful music, at the tables with delicious food, we commemorated another year of our activity on the maritime market with joint selfie pictures.

It is estimated that every day more than one million people around the world make their own selfies. Where did this phenomenon come from? The fashion for the selfie started in the first decade of the 21st century on MySpace. It was on its pages that for the first time users started to publish their profile photos taken in a mirror using a mobile phone. With the development of social networks and mobile phones, selfie has been gaining in popularity from year to year, to the extent that in 2013 the word selfie was considered the word of the year in Oxford Dictionary.

Few people know, however, that in 2019 it is 180 years since the first selfie was made. It was then, in 1839, that American chemist Robert Cornelius made a self-portrait on a metal plate, using a photographic technique called daguerreotype. To celebrate this round anniversary, we decided to give our business partners our warmest wishes, using group selfie photos. If you haven't had a chance to see them, we cordially invite you to check the link provided below:
