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.
Photos are, at their best, an expression of how we see things. What we choose to show and what we don't. Like a picture frame, the cropping of a photo can make all the difference in what draws attention and how an image peaks our interest.
