I’ve picked up a habit of photographing everything even mildly notable outside so when the topic comes up at some point, I’ve got useful photographs.

Sometimes it’s years later and someone will bring up a building or street that’s not notable enough to have photos online and my photos are much better than what you get from street view.

What are some interesting minor notable things you've documented?

I was in a discussion about modern street design that prioritises pedestrian safety and I brought up a trend I had noticed of new laneways putting the road and sidewalk completely level with no clear boundary between cars and people walking. I had taken a few photos of these streets, not because I had anticipated this discussion but because I just take a photo of all new construction and google photos makes it very easy to search through my photos to find them.

I’ve also ended up incidentally taking photos of areas which later got renovated/redeveloped so I get to show a before and after. It’s mostly possible with google maps but a proper photo from a phone is better quality.

I'm sorry, moderator team, I find this to be the best way to express my appreciation and admiration for parent's approach to the topic.
