#My photos 2007 manual#

The “almost delete 2500 random photos from the last 15 years and then pick some of them and blog about them challenge”, if you will. Here’s a bunch of photos from the last 15 years. You know how every now and again there’s a meme on twitter that tells you to post the last 4 photos from your camera roll without context? Well, maybe this is that. I don’t think I would’ve taken the time to have ever looked at those photos outside of this almost disaster (?), which kinda makes me wonder why I’m keeping them? I was planning on writing something about memories and legacy and ephemera, but I don’t think I currently have the wherewithal to extrude a precise idea from this experience. So the process I used to restore some of the photos was heavily manual, and I had to look through photo individually to make sure that they’d been recovered correctly.

They were hard to get at though – stored somewhere online, encrypted using some buggy software. The files I almost lost were saved by a backup.

160 restored from a copy on another computerĪll the files lost were from 2019, but the files almost lost were from 2007 through to 2020.

2531 restored from a backup through a complex, heavily manual process.

Last week, I deleted a bunch of old photos while trying to back them up.
