Cultivating a vibe in your camera roll is actually so much fun. I'm never going to look at or use most of these images but I don't care. If I see something nice looking on the internet I'm going to save it for later
light, shadows, textures, things accidentally making a pretty composition, everyday has so much art just waiting to be noticed. now my camera roll is a reminder of the beauty i see in the world
rather than taking 10. your camera roll will look magical and curated!
I used to be the type of person to spam take photos and all I ended up with was a cluttered camera roll and no storage…
taking one photo is freeing and i think it is such a fun way to document life. your camera roll can really be a wonderful place
ever since I lost all the photos I took on my iphone 5S back in 2018 I have SWORN to always back up my camera roll to each new phone I get my hands on!! I am SUCH a hoarder for screenshots and atp there’s just way too many to reasonably filter through so Ive just accepted that they all can stay. screenshots of conversations with people who I don’t even speak to anymore. Screenshots of assorted instagram memes that i wanted to send to certain people years ago. They all served a purpose once upon a time and now they get to retire into the depths of familiarity amidst the other masses of images I have no reason to keep. But I keep them anyway. Maybe in 50 years time when my body and soul is uploaded into the cloud I will be able to walk back down through my camera roll and relive the memories I decided not to delete. That would be nice
Bonus points if you do it while listening to really hype music at the same time. Nothing gets you in the mood to code a breadth first search tree like drinking wine straight from the bottle while listening to Ken Carson
Someone with more time on their hands and more well read than me can probably write a whole substack post talking about apps that track your usage of other apps or what media you consume and how they reveal a more authentic version of ourselves except not really cuz we become self aware of our usage of these "meta-apps" to the point where we moderate our usage of the original apps to present a particular version of ourselves that too is inauthentic. I don't have the time nor the background in that field to write about that so all I'll say is stats.fm is fun and I like seeing my monthly recap and checking what my friends are listening to! Everyone should download it!
