Lost and Found on My Phone

"I open my old phone to search for some photos and find thousands of images, with no recollection of when I captured them. As an avid photographer, I take pictures purely out of love for the moment or the idea behind the image, without any specific goal. This phone has become more of a place where photos get lost than a collection of memories. Has the ease of photography today had such an impact? I find myself lost among all these photos, looking at some as if for the first time, with no memory of the moment I captured them. Was it really me who took all these photos? Where and when? I can only discern this from the information attached to each photo. After all these countless shots, leading to a state of confusion and forgetfulness, I now find that they come back to memory, taking on a new life. They create a dialogue I never knew could exist. "
