Space! The Final Frontier! I sometimes refer to myself as a Sentimental Hoarder. A hoarder just the same...
My “collection?” Over 10,000 images. Over 300 videos! I had no idea! Yet the 64 Gb memory isn’t complaining? Yes, Bobby, clouds is good. 🙃. But the numbers are for contents of my phone Library?!
Images date back to my first iPhone/iPhone 4. Almost like folks surreptitiously returning over due books after 20 years. For Sentimental Reasons... (Nat King Cole)
Your phone is on your side! It’s a sentimental hoarder, too? Sweet!
I have photos in my “album” that were on my flip phone. 🤷♀️
I did have to pony up some $ for cloud space to finagle the transfer. I’m going to cancel the monthly subscription. I learned how to selectively back-up photos and contacts which are the only two things on my phone that I’d be unhappy about losing.
I’m glad to clean up my stash… feels good. And I totally understand that others feel differently about what/how much they keep. All kinds of kinds! 😃
Haven’t you seen the commercial where they say “how could you” and then deposit “it” whatever it is into a special glowing container for just such a purpose? Oh wait, you belong to “Horizon” never mind... 😉
The muses and I heard a Hulu commercial on the radio last week that cracked us up… something about “no such thing as a bad idea.” If an opportunity presents, we’re going to steal it. 😂
Here’s a “what?” Recently as I was trying to sort wheat from chaff, subjective classes of course, I found one photo from 2007. One. A music house party with folks I’ve known quite a while. One person had moved to Rochester, NY, a few years ago. I thought, “Why not send this in case she would like the stroll down memory lane?” Her quick reply noted she had returned to Tallahassee. And that for Halloween there was another music house party at the same home/same people.

You have 3,600+ photos? Bless your heart! 😌
41,120 photos, 818 videos, 1 item in total (no, I have not figured out what "1 item" is... yet) synchronized across a phone, an iPad, and two Macs. And the cloud, which is where this stuff really lives (my phone actually just keeps a thumbnail of my non-recent photos and videos). Oh, and a local backup drive, which Deb has designated as "the thing we grab if we can only grab one thing when the house is on fire" because it has all the photos.
Gulp! Do you and Deb spend time looking through your photos? You have a lot of travel pictures? Those are the ones I treasure and will hold onto. Besides the screen shots, I have lots of flower, tree, landscape, and Labrador photos. Many are multiple shots of the same thing from different angles. I’m selecting my favorites and deleting the rest.
I really hope you and Deb never have to choose one thing to grab! 😉
I have our trips organized into albums, so it's easy to make them screensavers on our Apple TV. We've had our Alaska trip as the default since May. 😊
A VERY big help is how the AI that Apple uses for its Photos app keeps improving. It's been awesome for faces for years now (with occasional "these photos may be Debra, please confirm?" sessions) but I can now have it search for flowers, dogs, houses, whatever. Maybe 10-20% of the hits are off, and 1% are "SERIOUSLY? REALLY, DUDE?" but it helps a lot.
I've also had things like "find photos of Fred" and nope, sorry, that one is NOT of Fred... okay, yes, that's a family photo in the background, and Fred is in it, sorry, my bad.
I have enjoyed plant i.d. Now and then I mess with the process. Recently a large, thick piece of black fungus fell from a tree. The i.d. listed a massive tree with a broad canopy. Green no less. Other times I’m delighted to learn plant names I never knew.
As many as necessary! I simply don’t care to manage this particular element of my life. And no, don’t even think of asking how many pictures, uhm, errr, screenshots and quotes I have... We need you heart healthy! No coronaries allowed! 😉
If I don’t “revisit” what’s in the photo album, I’ll surely never go to search around in the cloud. 😂
In Keep Going by Austin Kleon, the author challenges Marie Kondo’s neat, tidy, minimalist ways. He likes a little mess to help him make connections he might otherwise miss. He feels mess helps his creativity.
I think both Austin and Marie are right! The real gift is to learn what YOU value and to live in step with whatever that is.

On your what? A flip what?

Commercials? They’re almost like T-shirts... 😂🤣

Hoarding isn’t all bad🤷🏽
Wow! That’s great synchronicity!

“The thing we grab if…” Love it! 😉
Do we “revisit?” LMAO! 😂🤣😂
I opted for a different solution... Clouds ☁️☁️☁️

OMG I’m dying here as my imagination conjures up images of Typist “Cloud Surfing” ☁️🏄 for 🖼!
