Best Selfie of 2013 by a Priest

Mashable has a slideshow of the Best Selfies of 2013. On the list at #11 is A priest's selfie with a mosaic of Pope Francis.



It's credited this way: IMAGE: FRANCO ORIGLIA/GETTY IMAGES.

The thing is, it's not a selfie, It's an image of a priest taking a selfie of himself.

And I know the priest!

It's my friend, podcasting priest Fr. Roderick Vonhögen.
Fr. Roderick Vonhögen is a Dutch Catholic priest and the founder and CEO of SQPN.com. In addition to his work in new media, he is the host of several television and radioshows in the Netherlands.

So I looked for the actual selfie and easily found it on his site.
