Please label all your photos with the names of the people, the place, and the date. This is esily done at the time. When you retire and want to write your life story, or a family history fro your grandchildren, or a company hsitory, it is invaluable.
You can use a combination of clothes and backgrounds to date a photo later. The above photo was taken at the Alumni meeting, 2025, Friday September 19th, indoors without windows so no clues as to time of day, but from recent memory and the saved event programme I know it was before lunch.
I was able to label photos of my late parents with the location, because my father identified a prominent building such as a castle, confirmed by another photo of her outside a hotel which had its name prominently. Another dozen photos of my mother wearing the same yellow suit with different blouses were from the same holiday, giving us the date and location, and as I knew my mother's birthday I could work out her age using the time of year, before or after her birthday, using the background foliage, background foliage, and signs about events.
Please share links to your favourite photos.
