Comment on Ask HN: How do you manage photos, philosophically?

Comments

I’m also now past the 128gb mark. I rarely go back through my old photos, and the more time that passes the less connection I feel scrolling through my library.

Occasionally I post to Instagram (with an accompanying caption), and I like going through that more because each post is highly curated and annotated with my feelings at the time. Not too dissimilar to a physical photo album. So even if you did that privately, it’s worth a go.

Other than that, I figure that one day I may want to look at them, eg when I no longer have any mobility. The cost is so low that it doesn’t make sense for me to delete photos.
