I was going through images on my hard drive the other day, deleting what I could to make space (I really, really need a new laptop - this one is seriously on its last leg), and came across a bunch of 'forgotten' photos. Between our DSLR, old school film Holga, and iPhones, Robbie and I have taken a ton of pictures over the past several years - many of which were just thrown on our computers and never looked at again. It was really cool to stumble upon them and instantly be transported back to the time and space where each one was taken.
I thought I'd share a small handful of these forgotten images with you guys, in hopes that it will motivate me to print some of them and put the rest in an nice online album. There is no rhyme or reason here, by the way. There is also absolutely no aesthetic cohesiveness, and most aren't professional quality by any means. I just picked out a few that conjured up the strongest memories. They were taken all over the place (from our neighborhood to a San Francisco farmer's market to a little town in Mexico), at all different times over the last few years.
Do you store waaaay too many photos on your hard drive too? Or are you more organized about them?

I've been doing the same thing on my blog for the past few weeks. It's fun to look back at photos I'd completely forgotten about. I'm desperately trying to be more organized about them, but it's a struggle! I try to be very organized when it comes to photos for my shops, but my "everyday life" photos are frequently just uploaded and forgotten about.
ReplyDeleteLove the last photo. :)
Those are amazing! Thank you for sharing :) I have tons of unedited photos on file too, but they will probably stay there for the time being.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful shots! Thats what I love about blogging, it forces me to take so many pictures and its so fun to look back and even find the ones i never got around to posting

These photos are so beautiful!!! I know I have some forgotten photos on my computer too but I know they're not this pretty haha :-D
ReplyDeleteI love the cider shot and close up of the dandelion. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI have tons of forgotten photos, both on the computer and printed (and I don't even have a phone or a nice DSLR - could you imagine if I did?). I even found a shoe box full of 8-10 rolls of film last time I did spring cleaning. I need to find a place somewhere to develop them now.
Love how those cherries look! I am still trying to figure out how to organize my photo's. If anyone has any tips, I'm all ears!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great set of pics. I could spend hours looking through old photos...both film and digital. And yes, I take way to many photos and don't print near enough any more!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! My laptop is also old and slow and I may to need to go through and delete like you did. But it makes it sound like less of a chore is there are buried photo treasures! =)
ReplyDeleteI really love this! I am so horrible at organizing photos. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments you guys! I'm glad I'm not the only with too many old photos hidden away in my hard drive. :)
ReplyDeleteI save *every* picture. >.> I have so many, and I love them all so much. I have such a hard time deleting pictures!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty. I love your outfit in that picture, orange is so pretty on you!
