There are a few reasons why I post so many photos here:

  1. My aphantasia means that if I don’t take and save pictures, I have very little memory of where I’ve been. By turning photos of my hikes into wallpaper and having it on rotate on a spare monitor, I’m more anchored to my past, and this feels like a good thing. Typically I take a few hundred photos on a day’s hike, and turn a dozen or two into wallpaper.

  2. I flatter myself into thinking some of these wallpaper photos turn out pretty well, so I share them. There’s probably no one downloading any, but that’s OK.

  3. I figure the nature photos provide a nice break from the political ranting.
