Spot the difference? Yes, one photo's new, one's old. One's in colour, but they're both gold.
Rivers of gold!
Sure, the new gold is data, but like the old gold it's hard to mine.
They reckon perhaps 3,500,000,000,000 photos have been taken in human history, and maybe 3,500,000,000 of those in the last twelve months. Even the people who took them know that most of them are crap!
Digging for gold in that lot is like panning for gold in that river. Tough work and hardly anyone's going to do it.
Want to do your photos a favour?
Pick the best ones (one in ten? a hundred?) and delete the rest.
Don't even let them off your phone.
If you don't pick the winners, don't imagine anyone else will be bothered.
Cheers, Ian
You already know what to do with the best of the best, right? Print them, frame them, put them in a book. They're gold.

Phew, thanks for posting, Ingrid. I thought that fell down a big hole and hadn't hit bottom yet! So glad you agree.

Completely agree! I don't understand why people want the useless throw away pictures. Clutter for your hard drives and your mind.
