πποΈ Improve how you enjoy your memories
[β¦] no one is going to gather around the harddrive or cloud storage in later life to reminisce. You probably have a good amount of memories in the form of photographs. It's highly likely that for the past 10+ years, most of them are digital. I have them too. In the cloud, in my laptop, on external drivesβ¦ you name it. And I've been thinking a lot about this recently. Why now? We moved continents with Lau (my wife) and our two cats in 2022. In 2024 she had the idea of getting ourselves a photo...
πποΈ What car became your origin story?
