> As the memories fade, so does interest in the photos. 10 years ago you still remember clearly. 20 years ago is another era.

That's what makes them so interesting.

The photos from 15 years ago with my parents still alive and my kids as toddlers are more interesting than last year's holiday.

Fair enough. My older is just under 10 years old, so that kind of sets the "current era" event horizon. 20 years ago is relatives who aren't alive any more, parties full of people I can't even put a name to any more, trips of which the memories have faded, stuff like that.
