It’s sometimes tempting; I’ve only completely worked through my photos through to early May 2020. After that is patchy: cheer competitions and cricket finals. Somewhere deep in there are well over a thousand photos I took just in two weeks in Europe in 2022.
But I can’t stop when my babies are in there. I don’t yet have any photos to hand of the entire year my son was thirteen.
A few things that have helped:
- Local disk, not virtual machine over the network.
- Giving up on doing a lot of post-processing. This is why people buy Fuji bodies, after all, for the straight off the camera experience. With adjusted contrast, at least sometimes.
- A digital photo frame, so that I can appreciate all the (big) baby photos once I’ve uploaded them.
