Memories of photos past
I recently signed up for a new service called Everpix after seeing it featured on Daringfireball, which I read religiously. As it was free for the first year I gave it a go. The idea is that it uploads all your photos and then organises them for you and shows you highlights as well as applying some form of image recognition to show you landscapes, people and so on. It connects with iPhoto and has clients for iPhone/iPad and Android. It can also use a watch folder and just update each time you drop a photo in there.
I have found the idea of photo and memory quite interesting and always love going home and seeing family albums with photos in. I want to be able to refer to my photos in the future in an easy and accessible way but the sheer number of images I take makes this task pretty hard. I’m still struggling to finish printing and updating these albums but do want to do it. I worry that these memories will be lost, along with some of the names and places that go with them in say 40 years time.
So in the short term I’ve come to really like the Everpix daily email that they send. It’s amazing and sometimes quite thought provoking to see what you were doing one or two years ago. Even the mundane photos are enjoyable.
Was it really two years ago I did that photo shoot?
Was it really I year ago that we went to Wales with Matt & Graham? We should go again!
