Today’s NaBloPoMo Prompt: How often do you look back at photos you’ve taken?
Little things have contributed to finding an excuse to go back and look at old photos. For example, the wife and I decided it was time to organize all of our photos, which meant coming up with a filing system, and during the process I would find myself browsing decades-old pictures.
And I recently came into using Adobe Lightroom, and I am finding my retouching journey an education. Or should I say I am finding my self-administered retouching education to be a journey. Or something. Again, I go back to old photos, looking for ways to make some of them better.
Then there’s the urge to use websites like Flickr, 500px, and Viewbug. In an effort to pick out the best pictures among the gigabytes on my hard drive, I’ve been browsing and browsing.
It seems as if, every so often, some new innovation results in coming across pictures long forgotten. Like the time We tried Picasa, the photo library thing, and in it’s exploration we explored old pictures the program had archived.
So the answer to the question is “often” but only accidentally. I’m not wont for reflecting on memories in this way.
Today’s NaBloPoMo Photo Prompt: Color
When I first saw this prompt, I thought to myself, “go find a picture you took with lots of colors in it.” But then I realized “color” can be singular, and lo, a flower I found one day next to a library.
