It’s the end of April, so life’s photojournal and stats pages have been updated.
I’ve added five new people to stats this time around, from a lot of different places in my life. Yay variety?
First photo of William:
February 18, 2006 at the SCS Talent Show.
First photo of Kayleigh:
August 8, 2011 at our apartment.
First photo of Dan:
April 16, 2011 in the UC eating free donuts from buggy.
First photo of Marina:

First photo of Steven:
June 27, 2008 at the 154 Release Party in Golden Gate Park.
I also haven’t updated camera stats in a while, and I’ve gotten a new camera (my iPod Touch) since then. Photoshop Album reports 425,113 photos, so we’ve also hit our 425,000 photo milestone. This is an unusual confluence of my every-4-month people stat days and every-25,000-photo camera stat days, but so it goes.
Here’s the 425,000th photo, taken on April 29, 2017:
This is David, Jim, and Kathleen just before we did the Imaginarium’s escape room.
Speaking of the escape room, we did an escape room on Saturday. It went really well… apparently we set a new record or something?
(I think that’s the remaining time in our hour… we had a 30 minute warning at one point.)

Looks like I’m getting even better at discarding photos. The fact that I’ve not had to buy a new hard drive in a while, despite the larger filesizes of my new camera, is testament to that.
I’m particularly amused by the fact that I keep less than 10% of the photos from my iPod. This is perhaps not too surprising given how many of them come out blurry, but it’s nice to see that in actual numbers.
Here are the dates on which I took each 25,000th photo as well as the number of days between each 25,000th photo.

And the usual graphs… Number of photos taken by month, log scale y-axis:
Same thing but with a linear y-axis (second graph only includes time after graduation from CMU):
I like how there’s always a spike around Carnival time. I guess that’s when everyone comes back and buggy and food and event things happen.
Total number of photos taken through time (second graph only includes time after graduation from CMU):
And amount of time between 1000 photos (second graph only includes time after graduation from CMU, so it starts at 131,000):
Yay updates! Yay life! Yay Kayleigh!
