OG Selfie master Jean Pigozzi publishes "ME + CO" spanning 1972–2016

"I invented the selfie (but not the word selfie)," Jean Pigozzi writes in ME + CO, The Selfies: 1972–2016, his new monograph from Damiani. I use a Leica with a flash. I have long arms. I am dyslexic. Selfies are much better than autographs as they really prove that you met the person in the photo next to you." Featured image is captioned "Jerry Hall + Me + Mick Jagger" (1978). Other cameos include Faye Dunaway, Dolly Parton, Pelé, Martha Stewart, King Sunny Adé, and Andy Warhol, to name just a few.
