We can't have you fighting crime unscented
To keep or not to keep - bad photographs from the analogue days?

Remember the days when you got your first camera, before digital photography was invented or affordable, and when you snapped pictures of things you thought would look great and then the photographs turned out to look not so great after all?

I found a whole box of these and I'm afraid my mind is so photoshopped that I now look at a picture and automatically think "it wouldn't be so bad if you cut it at the top and adjusted the brightness and used a blue filter ..." And of course, as an 8 or 10 year old one also has questionable taste when it comes to choosing motives (The posters above my bed? A blurry Lego ship in the bathtub?! Very very blurry plastic lightsaber in the dark?????!!!)

On the one hand, these pictures are almost history and almost historical documents. On the other hand, I don't think pictures with random stuff will ever be relevant to anyone and they simply clutter my place ...


Also, my newsfeed has a headline that goes something "David Hasselhoff claims he isn't responsible for the fall of the Berlin wall" ... in related news, I can tell you here exclusively, that I'm claiming no responsibility for the discovery of America, the invention of the telephone and gravity.
