6,300 plus photos to be exact. Which I desperately need to organize and eliminate repeats, blurred images, or subject matter which I don’t care for all that much. Why so many sunsets? Empty lake photos? Pictures of my old dog asleep? WTF? But the idea of reviewing all 6,300 images in sequence to delete a thousand or more depressed me deeply. Every few weeks I try to slim the horde down, but I’m constantly taking more, and more. I can’t attack the videos, so it has to be the photos. There is nothing else stored on my phone that takes up so much internal storage space, by a very wide margin. Ugh. Fine, I’ll do it. See you in about 10 hours time.
**After 2 rounds of whittling I’m down to 5,034 photos, from the 6,300 or more that I had to begin with. I realize now that I have spent countless hours over the years pruning these photo sets, so I don’t have much wiggle room in which to manoeuvre. If I want to save space, then I have to be ruthless. I’m not there yet. Cutting 1,000 images out of my collection is a good start, but I am not convinced I need to pare it down much more for the sake of an 8 year old phone. Could be time to upgrade after all this time!**
