Totally agree, I have to say I thought it a better project idea than a weekly challenge (no disrespect Juliana). Its just that Mobitog is all about smartphone photography i.e. up to date technology and that's difficult to do anything with, without resorting to capturing old 'film' photos, regarding memories and nostalgia. Or maybe that's just me
Some great images though and I've enjoyed reading the text as well
Well this is what I meant, my memories are old family photos, wedding photos, holiday photos etc. Unfortunately none are mobile. I get the concept and it was a great idea Just not doable for me.The thing is that for some of us our memories go back to the film days while younger people never knew film at all.
I tried to imagine what the music would sound like. "Wild Night People are Strange Sung Blue." Then I had to go lie down in a quiet place.Totally! So it’s decided... an amalgam of Neil/Jim/Van... I think Ted has risen to and surpassed Cool.
None taken! I had in mind daily/current things that remind us of something/someone/sometime else, but it turned out to be slightly different, which I also loved! I just didn’t have in mind that it would be SO HARD to judge, but I’ll get thereTotally agree, I have to say I thought it a better project idea than a weekly challenge (no disrespect Juliana).

There's evidence that people who take no pictures remember greater detail of an event (eg visiting an art gallery) than people who do take pics. The argument is the photographers are at a distance to the event and dont process it as deeply.Yes. Some of my good memories are also of yesterday, last week, two years ago etc.
I’m certain we make different senses of the idea of ‘memories’ at different ages.
Somewhat related: I wonder if there are any studies linking ‘memorobilia’ and memory function. Eg John has lots of family photos, Jen has none: is Jen more vulnerable to dementia? More likely to lose general memory ? (Off to the archives )
Well, I’m doomed either way because my memory is already pitiful, has always been! Even though I think it’s more an attention problem than memory, but not taking photos doesn’t really help me concentrate muchThere's evidence that people who take no pictures remember greater detail of an event (eg visiting an art gallery) than people who do take pics. The argument is the photographers are at a distance to the event and dont process it as deeply.
I'd be interested to see if there's a difference between the general public and photographers.
When I was 9 or 10, I was totally in love with David Cassidy. I had every Partridge Family album, watched the TV show religiously, belonged to their fan club, and had a subscription to Tiger Beat magazine and pored over any issue with David in it. I kept the albums for many years, but somewhere in the ‘90s they’ve disappeared. One day walking in Manhattan I bumped into this at a street fair. Seeing it just made me happy.
(And so what if I still remember [and like ] all the songs, and watch re-runs of the Partridge Family, singing along, loudly?? )

I loved that series, too!!! I remember the episode David was in love with a girl and thought her the cream of the crop, especially in singing, but she sang out of harmony! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji106]
And I tell you what: two partridge albums were available at iTunes in the early days and I bought both. [emoji1]
I'm just seeing this (I need to look through the Alerts properly and more often). Thank you so much Younger, and all who commented and, well, I don't know what to say. I will say this: I didn't realize this was a challenge or judgy thing. Thank you again. I appreciate you all

Update. The flowers are beginning to open.Thanks. Here's the whole thing.
This is more thrown together than previous efforts. I like a nice, large terracotta bowl to first landscape and then plant up but not got round to that since we last moved.
This is here to hide a large metal drain cover surrounded by concrete.

Give it a month or two and it'll burst into a mass of small white and yellow flowers, all star like with 5 petals.
Ahhhh.... beautiful!Update. The flowers are beginning to open.
