I don't take selfies, and rarely family snapshots either.
I do consider myself a photography hobbyist. I try to find neat shots - some are fairly standard shots that pros have all done better (look, another shot of Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate!). Others are simple street scenes, or flowers and landscapes, or whatever other random stuff I happen upon on vacation. Sometimes I try portraits as we're moving through vacation (though that's biggest weakness - most are crap). I like to think looking for unique shots forces me to experience my surroundings, but I won't claim that's true for all people.
I've printed a few shots, like to share my better shots with friends & family, and will go back and look at albums occasionally. And also try to ID what I did poorly and work to correct it on upcoming trips. Some of my favorites end up as desktop backgrounds, screen saver, etc. I should really consider getting a very high quality LCD display to rotate through some - maybe a project of the future.
