For large swathes of my life so far, my identity has largely depended on photographic memories and souvenirs from various angles, from investment to experience to knowledge to the common good. In 2024, I had actually taken a seemingly basic class that had actually expanded my knowledge of photography dramatically, and I will utilize this knowledge to the greatest extent possible. I continue to identify myself with a photographic identity, and am likely to continue beyond 2026, depending on the circumstances and my situation. I am, of course, always open to my desires for new connections across short-, medium-, and long-term distances, especially to expand my knowledge base and hopefully learn additional information that may pertain to my industry and to additional industries that may relate to my own.
What about screenshots? These are not photographed in a “traditional” sense.
Of course not. Screenshots are also often incorporated into my identity and styles, mixing stereotypical and more traditional values that I share in a blender with futuristic values and my desire to promote free-and-open-source software to the masses.
Is it possible to have excessive memories?
Absolutely. While modern technologies enable the storage of extremely large quantities of personal and group memories, pushback, depending on the specific setting in question, is likely to result, for reasons that may or may not be obvious initially but may quickly become obvious based on the additional connotations and, of course, the context.
