Yea I also wonder what do ppl do with "these 10000s of photos" Can't remember last time I print a photo, or look at it after I posted it on IG or FB(ppl still do that ?).

Lol the one to respond to my comment might be the 1/100 ppl that actually print their photos and hang it in their house.

I don't take selfies, and rarely family snapshots either.

I do consider myself a photography hobbyist. I try to find neat shots - some are fairly standard shots that pros have all done better (look, another shot of Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate!). Others are simple street scenes, or flowers and landscapes, or whatever other random stuff I happen upon on vacation. Sometimes I try portraits as we're moving through vacation (though that's biggest weakness - most are crap). I like to think looking for unique shots forces me to experience my surroundings, but I won't claim that's true for all people.

I've printed a few shots, like to share my better shots with friends & family, and will go back and look at albums occasionally. And also try to ID what I did poorly and work to correct it on upcoming trips. Some of my favorites end up as desktop backgrounds, screen saver, etc. I should really consider getting a very high quality LCD display to rotate through some - maybe a project of the future.

Google Photo is good at this, picking past photos from these thousands and surfacing them at random times.

This effectively motivates to also take photos of mundane day to day moments, that will feel so far away in 5 or 10 years.

Indeed, a large part of my wall decorations is photos from travelling... not a single selfie, though, most are entirely devoid of people :)

...If only there was a way to serendipitously browse through hundreds of thousands of images and videos...
