One of my goals going forward is to take more video of our lives.
When I spent a whole days going through photo books from my mom’s flooded house, I was surprised to see how much the photos shifted in quality. The older photos were actually better.

This might have been a byproduct of the cellophane photo books my mom used, but the clarity of the pre-seventies never returned.
