I found an old photo of a house in Santa Monica, taken in the early 1950's in my Great-Uncle Nick's photo album. I've sketched it, and painted it, and I'm still looking at it, so I figured it was time to make a print of it.
No one in the family can remember who's house it is, but I'm pretty certain, based on multiple images, that they all spent time there. It's funny how we document our lives with photos, and then forget to label the moments, trusting our memories to hold all that data.

My father's mother used to write who, when, and where on the back of all of her photographs. We made fun of her obsession, but boy, was it ever great when you looked at them years later.
I wish someone would come up with some easy way to embed data in digital photos, besides a timestamp. Say, a microphone on your camera, so you could say, "That's a picture of my cat, Phineas." (click) "And that's a picture of my other cat, Strawberry." The audio could be stored on the camera's disk, and then later, your image management program on your computer could do voice recognition with your interaction and then could convert the audio data to a text string and embed it right in the image file.
Not that I waste electrons by taking pictures of my cats, of course. Just giving an example.
They look lovely!

It looks so good.
