Take lots and lots of your own pictures in the moment. It costs you nothing extra. Treat all of those clicks as your personal stream of consciousness. At our advanced ages, our own memories are less strong and reliable. But having several photos in the moment dramatically change our experiences in reflection, whether after a few minutes or after dats and weeks.

There are lots of ways to get a recent good smartphone at a reasonable cost. These are easy to operate as excellent cameras. Just point and shoot produces incredible results. Please, just do it. In three months you will thank me.
