Of all the life skills we learn in school, there are two daily tasks that should be part of every curriculum, but generally aren’t. Money and photography. By comparison, the only time in years that I dredged my memory for chemistry facts was at last Tuesday’s trivia night.
Where I naturally spent money and took photos. Like every other day. Go figure.
If I hear one persistent complaint about Apple Photos and iCloud, it’s the ease with which you can unintentionally remove entire memories from your life. Precious photos deleted and gone.
But, ironically, it’s also what makes the Apple Photos experience so remarkably good.
Every parent has that moment, or will, when they notice that their kid has become an adult. You were so wrapped up in the journey that you missed the arrival. A few weeks ago I returned from the 2023 Photo Managers Conference in Orlando and felt smacked by the same discovery.
Black and white (or monotone, greyscale, b&w, whatever you call it) photography has been the signature look for the work of so many famous photographers. As luck would have it, the iPhone lets you hop into the Way Back Machine and shoot in black and white too.
