They were in fact,

1) taken by Trayvon Martin

2) and kept on his cellphone as mementos.

In other words, Trayvon Martin placed a value on those self-portraits.

The pyschology of the growing prevalance of "selfies" is here in Pyschology Today: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...lf-exploration .

The probable gist of the pyschology behind those pictures on his cellphone would be they depict the person Trayvon Martin wanted the world to know him as, just as a few pictures of him in family situations, also on the phone, were also valuable to him.

It's your interpretation the photos below place him in a negative light. His own interpretation of the value of those photos, evidently, was quite different.

So, the real question might be, if Trayvon Martin valued the photos below as mementos of self-exploration, showing him as the person he felt he was, why are YOU spending so much time trying to de-value them?

Are you trying to tell the deceased how he should have thought of himself?

Looks like a normal kid, the kinda #### you'd find on most 13-19 yr olds cell phone.

I don't understand the purpose of those pics?
