I'm not a professional photographer. I was a digital photography enthusiast from nearly the beginning.

I kept taking photos on an SLR for a while in parallel with digital photography, then I gradually switched over to all digital. Then I stopped taking photos with a purpose built digital camera and started focusing on the photos I can take with my iPhone.

I worked really hard to drive all the digital images I have into iCloud, whether they originated on an iOS device or not. I have a decent collection of photos that came from Kodak PhotoCDs. I could have a lot more photos available in my iClod collection if I invested in a negative scanner.

My biggest use cases for face recognition are for life milestone events for other people. Weddings, graduations, funerals. People who know me often ask me to look for photos of loved ones if we've been at events together.

I could do more than I am doing with the technology. But what I can do without too much effort sometimes surprises me.
