We investigate photo fads, starting with photographing dead people in the early days of film. In the 80s, we dig into Glamour Shots (and interview several victims) and those awful Olan Mills "floating heads" double exposures. We explore the history of HDR, and how a very practical technology became terribly abused. Then, we explore the origin of selfies, selfie sticks, and duckface.
