I've noticed that not having access to my phone camera is making it so that I'm way more conscious of the photos I'm taking. I've recently had to go through the very extensive process of going through all of my photos before I can switch to my Nokia. That showed me how much digital junk I have accumulated the past 15 years. You wouldn't think of photos being junk, but at the rate I was taking them I should be considered a digital hoarder! Knowing that my only 2 options are a very limited flip phone camera or a digital camera, I've been so much more intentional with the type of photos I'm taking. The pictures I take now seem to come out better because of that. I'm waiting on 1 more photo print order in the mail to arrive and then my smartphone is getting signed out, factory reset and taken to e-waste (SIM card reader and charging port broke during a fall).
unrelated, but you know the saying "fences make good neighbors"? Yea, I get it now :/

Rowan You Nerd!
i feel the same but for screenshots that i will totally send to people more than once, but then i never send at all. Even when i go through all the old memes and junk on my phone i cant bring myself to get rid of them TwT
It was so hard but 99% of them I would have never seen again if I didn't actively go through that folder on my phone to print anything I didn't want to lose. That's how I went about it, any of my favorite memes/screenshots or things I would like to revisit I had printed out as a photo on Shutterfly or Walmart photo. Now I have some of my wall filled with my favorite quotes I've accumulated over the years and used the other screenshots I wanted to save in my journal. I'm able to actually see/appreciate them and read them multiple times a day now unlike when they were buried in the screenshots folder on my phone. That really helped me!
