The photos you shoot today will become the history of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Today I was looking at some of my old photos \u00e2\u20ac\u201d 2009-2011. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m amazed \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the photos I shot then are already starting to show their age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"YouTube<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For example this 2010 picture. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what YouTube UI used to look like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or the original iPad advertisement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iPad

Or when I was a student at UCLA, the death of John Wooden (2010):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"John<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Or even places which don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exist anymore. For example Bel-Air Camera in Westwood, which was a staple when I was a student:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bel
I was shocked when I visited Westwood, and saw Bel Air was no longer there. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Life before iPhone Cameras?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How did people used to shoot selfies before the iPhone front facing camera? Like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Couple

Or a photo of my friend using a flip phone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self history <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Or even recording your own history. A photo of me as a freshman at UCLA, in the dorms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dating your photos <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Poster<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s funny to look at old photos of posters with dates in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see 2009 is surreal (it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 2019 already). It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good for me because I have gratitude to see that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been shooting strong for a decade, and I still got a long way to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
