My project this week was to go through all the photos I have taken and pick out some highlights to put into an album. I try (more in the past, less so now) to take photos to help me remember the past, because my memory isn’t that great; but in practice I’ve realized that I take photos, file them, and then never look at them again. That’s kind of a waste of all my effort!

So I want to change that, and the approach I’ve taken is to select some memorable ones and put them together into a physical album. I like having a book to share and reminiscing over rather than sitting in front of a screen and looking at a slideshow.

It has kind of snuck up on me that I’ve had a digital camera for almost 10 years now (since 2002). Looking through my photos, there is a huge difference between the image quality of my first camera to now (even comparing P+S, not to SLRs). The photos from 2002 had a lot of fuzziness and noise, even in good light. Although I would say that phone cameras are still not at 2002 P+S levels.
