My phone is fairly old by current technology standards and I have several thousand photos and videos of my immediate family. I constantly go through my 6,000 plus photos to whittle away all of the unnecessary triples, quadruples of shots that I have taken. But still I have gigabytes worth saved. I just went through my videos, and axed a bunch of them to free up some space. Random gift openings, dancing to the tv, back of the head type videos that I have not gone back to watch even once, beyond my fact finding mission to delete stuff and shore up some memory space. I feel bad pushing memories off into the ether like that, but it wasn’t wedding reception quality montage material we are talking about here. As I said, this phone is five or so years old by now, and showing the wear and tear. The worst looking phone I’ve ever owned. Dented, scratched, and for the first time ever, a cracked screen. I was aghast! Never have I ever cracked a screen before. Not until my youngest dropped it from her seat in a Longos grocery cart, on the frame three feet below. Perfect shot. Huge cracks right down the centre of my screen. D’oh!
I had multiple shots of the same events, so I kept the best one, and deleted the rest. At a certain point I won’t be able to thin out my photos any further. And as the kids do more stuff I continue to add new images. Will have to upgrade at some point in 2024, I’m certain of it. Just not right now. I have a very busy week ahead of me. A particularly large report came in on Friday, which I started, but it’ll be most of this week consumed by it before I finish. So I best be at it. Ciao Bella!
