There's an endless stream of selfies and ways to take selfies out there, but few are as impressive or grand as the one that Photojojo founder Amit Gupta took over the weekend using a drone. As spotted by Kottke, Gupta has been toying around with drone self-portraits for at least a couple months now, using a mounted camera to capture himself and the world around him. In this most recent one, Gupta captures himself and two others (Hatching Twitter writer Nick Bilton, for one) before flying the drone out away from them over a hill and road. The wide angle makes for incredible, dreamy imagery that gets across a whole lot more than the average Instagram video might.
