Episode 131: Organize Your Photo Collection

Autumn Carter: [00:00:00] This is episode 1 31.

Welcome to Wellness In Every Season, the podcast where we explore the rich tapestry of wellness in all of its forms. I'm your host, autumn Carter, a certified life coach, turn wellness coach, as well as a certified parenting coach dedicated to empowering others to rediscover their identity in their current season of life.

My goal is to help you thrive, both as an individual and as a parent.

Today I have with me Angela Andrieux, and she is in the world of photos, photography, and there's so much that we can learn about this. If you are anything like me, you take a ton of photos, but you don't do enough with them. So we're gonna talk about that. She is with Mylio photos.

We are gonna have so much fun talking about this. She has an app that goes along with this and I have been invited to check it out and [00:01:00] I totally forgot. So I'm excited to. Be introduced to this further along with you and really see what this is about and see how it can better our lives.

If you are also like me, you don't print out your photos often enough, so we made the switch to having it on our tv. Just kind of circle through, but it doesn't go through all of our photos, so it's still not that great of a catchall. Tell us a bit about you and tell us about why what you offer is so great and why we need it.

Angela Andrieux: My name is Angela and I'm a fine art photographer, photography coach, and I am a product evangelist for a company called Mylio . Mylio makes a product called Mylio Photos. It's an application and a service that helps you organize your lifetime of memories. Basically what it does is it aids you in gathering all of your pictures from all of the different sources, [00:02:00] because today we've got pictures.

In the cloud, we've got pictures on our phones, we've got pictures on hard drives. You might even have pictures on memory cards or in prints, in boxes, photo albums in the closet. So we aid you in getting all of that stuff into one library. That you can then make sure it's secure and backed up and that you can actually enjoy and get to those photos when you want them.

So that's the core of mile of Photos. As far as for me, I do landscape and cityscape travel photography. I teach people different photography workflows based usually in helping them accomplish their creative vision. Photography, post-processing and digital asset management, which also ties into what Mylio does is helping organize photos.

So whether I am working with as a coach, usually serious amateur or professional photographers, helping them wrangle their photo libraries or individuals and families who want to get their photo libraries in order and backed up and just know [00:03:00] that their stuff is safe and secure. That's what I do.

Autumn Carter: How about all the duplicates that we have?

I've gone through them, like there are five of that same photo shoot

Angela Andrieux: so there's a couple of different things there. So there's true duplicates, which are actual like. Exact copies of one or the other. And that often happens because maybe at this point in time you decided to try to back things up to Google photos.

And this time you did another backup to an external hard drive. And when you bring that stuff all into a single library, yeah, you end up with multiple copies of the same picture. My Leo can definitely help you clean that up. It has a photo D tool. That will help you get that under control very easily.

The other thing that people run into are very similar photos. So if you're out taking pictures of your kids, let's say kicking the ball down the soccer field, you're gonna probably have 10 to 20 pictures that are all roughly the same. You zoom in, you're gonna see slightly differences in facial expressions, maybe you know, feet touching the ground, feet not touching the [00:04:00] ground.

Some might look really cool, some might look really awkward, but you end up with these 20 pictures and you're like, you really only need to keep one. Two of them maybe if you wanna keep four or five of them if you're real generous, but like you don't need that many. What we have in my LEO photos is a tool called photo declutter, which groups together those burst mode photos.

So anytime you sit there and you hold down that shutter button on your camera and it takes more than one frame, it will group those together automatically. So you can go in and pick the best one or ones, and. Get rid of the rest because all those ones that have awkward expressions or maybe this one here is really great.

The rest of these five not so much. Keep the one that really matters because you and the next generation are really only gonna wanna see that best one anyway. The rest of 'em is just clutter, so get rid of 'em.

Autumn Carter: I wish my husband would do that. He likes to keep all of them because you see the sequence of events and I'm like, just keep your favorite, delete the rest.

I don't wanna go in and clean up your photos on top of my [00:05:00] own, let alone when my young kids get phones or cameras of their own, there's gonna be even more.

Angela Andrieux: So when you have those sequences of like them running down the field, it creates like a little time lapse. Encourage 'em to take those and make them into a little time lapse movie.

So then you just have the one file. Of a little time lapse that you can loop or whatever, and then get rid of the individual frames. Keep like the one really good one or two really good ones and then you can get rid of the rest.

Autumn Carter: I agree. Preach louder. Say it louder for him on the other side of the, he is not even in this room, but he is over that way.

That, that's funny. So can you tell me what is it that you do with photography coaching?

Angela Andrieux: So my photography coaching is separate from what I do for my Leo photos. This is where I work with individual photographers. Typically serious amateurs, people who are really into photography or professional photographers.

I go in and I help [00:06:00] them learn how to use software. So a lot of people who are very creative are not very technically minded. Where I found a niche is like translating technical speak into everyday person speak, or even language that the creative can understand to help them.

Keep their stuff organized, have a system that works, keep things backed up so they don't lose precious photos. And then also teaching creative post-processing techniques, sharing software that I use, basically helping them solve problems that they run into as photographers.

Autumn Carter: And that is even larger scale than a family.

That's their prevention. That makes sense. Yeah. And that's really great for. A family who may come back to you and say, Hey, do you happen to have that photo? They can easily find it, or it could be a really great way of, Hey, do you remember this? To a past client to re excite them and get them interested again.

There's a lot that can be [00:07:00] done there.

Angela Andrieux: Yeah, but if you can't find the photos or maybe that client comes back to you and says some, this thing happened, I need these photos. It's an emergency if you can't find them or you didn't back them up, and they are somehow lost or damaged, like there's at the very least emotional implications there, and bad, bad blood for your business or potentially legal stuff.

So making sure your stuff is safe and backed up. And secure, especially if you have contracts with clients to preserve images it's really important.

Autumn Carter: And then there could be, but what if you fail to have things backed up and you're supposed to be working on it and you haven't given it to that client yet?

Angela Andrieux: And there are accidents that can happen, but it's making sure you have a process in place where you're backing up and minimizing those risks a big part of that workflow. So I do coach people on that. I give them workflows and techniques to keep their things as protected as possible.

Like one thing that [00:08:00] a photographer can do is a lot of professional cameras have two card slots is to use both of those card slots because if one of those cards becomes corrupted during your shoot, let's say it's a wedding, hopefully you've got another card in there that has all of those pictures.

You didn't just lose an entire wedding.

Autumn Carter: That's amazing that they do that.

Angela Andrieux: Yeah it's not on all of 'em. The mirrorless camera I have does not have two card slots. It only has the one, but there are many out there that do. And it's usually the higher end stuff.

Autumn Carter: Yeah. Makes sense. We don't use our canon enough. It's big, bulky, and at this point our iPhones take as good of pictures as long as we're not trying to zoom out.

Angela Andrieux: Exactly. The iPhones do amazing, especially if you have good light. That's really the biggest thing I've found with my iPhone photos. The ones that have really good lighting in, they're incredible.

I can zoom in on 'em. The detail is impeccable. Where they really start to fall apart though, is when you're trying to shoot in low light. And I know like I'm using an iPhone 14 personally, so when I get the [00:09:00] 16 or what comes out later this year, the 17, whatever, that's gonna be that much better.

But. The light is what it's all about. And our iPhones take incredible pictures and that's what most people are using these days are their smartphones. You might have pictures from your old DSLR sitting on a hard drive, but then you have the last however many years that you've focused on your iPhone.

That's where everything is. Yep. Or your Android, or whatever it is you're shooting with.

Autumn Carter: And I know so many people who have not backed up to the cloud. And then something happens to their phone and they've lost all those pictures and they're absolutely devastated. So that's going back to personal use right there.

Angela Andrieux: So I read a statistic recently that I believe only one in four people is paying for additional storage for their phone. That means that most of their pictures are not protected. So there's always a small amount of storage that comes with most phones and people think, oh, it's stored in the cloud.

My stuff is safe. Yeah, if your phone gets lost [00:10:00] and stolen and you're not paying for that storage plan or enough storage, so a lot of people don't have enough, they might pay for that base level plan that's $3 a month, but really they should be paying for the $10 a month one to get everything.

It makes me so sad when somebody loses a device and they didn't have their stuff backed up.

Autumn Carter: Absolutely. I know my husband's in charge of that. He gets to do all things photo. Nice. I'm the one who's in the thick of it with the kids 'cause he works an hour away so he gets photos.

Angela Andrieux: So here's a cool thing that you could do.

If you guys had a My Leo Photos family plan, you guys could both have your pictures going into the same account. So you create one family library and if he's taking most of the pictures, you can have it. So you can pull up your phone and you can see all the family pictures. Because I'm gonna guess there's a lot of pictures that he's taken that you probably have never seen.

Autumn Carter: We actually, yes. And he's fixed it after me [00:11:00] complaining because I was looking for, I don't know what, but a picture with me in it for something. And I have none because I'm not really taking selfies while I'm in the thick of it with kids. It was when they were baby babies. And yeah, we had to figure out a fix for that.

And it's not perfect. Sometimes it disconnects, sometimes it saves to the wrong area. There's definitely a need. Yeah.

Angela Andrieux: I'm glad that you guys have a something in place for that because usually the one who's taking the pictures, the other person never sees this photos. Like I know my husband has pictures of me that I've never seen.

He almost never shares his photos with me. So that's a problem that I see for a lot of people.

Autumn Carter: Yes. And how many moms are in pictures. And sometimes it can be a good thing that you don't see the pictures 'cause how many of us tear ourselves apart because we don't like the way we look. And then 20 years from now we're gonna look back and be like, what was I thinking?

I looked good then.

It's so funny. Or what a

Angela Andrieux: sweet moment. Okay, yeah, your hair was a mess and you had spit up [00:12:00] on your shirt, but who cares? Because that moment's gone forever and the only way it's preserved is in that photo. And you're still

Autumn Carter: glowing. And besides the sweat and everything else, like the, emotional glow and the, you can see the love pouring into this creature that you created and that you are raising and loving.

Okay. Let's switch over to fine art photographers. So you do cityscapes. Tell me more about that. How does that work out?

Angela Andrieux: Typically I just go out and take pictures of whatever is around me as I'm going through daily life. So that can be something that's a little bit more staged.

Like I go and I take my tripod and I'm setting up at Sunset and I'm getting all the city lights, things like that. Or it could be architectural details, or it could be while I'm traveling and exploring a new place and just taking in the sites of wherever I'm at. So tell

Autumn Carter: me your favorite one.

Angela Andrieux: Oh, my favorite one. Gosh, I think my favorite cityscape photo that I have, it's an old one. I took it in San Francisco.

Over 10 years ago, maybe more, and I was [00:13:00] crossing the street in front of the ferry building and here comes this trolley and it was this red trolley and it just looked cool. And I could see the ferry building in the background. And here's this red trolley. And I took my camera and I shot from the hip.

Like I didn't even have time to put it to my face. I was walking, traffic was coming, and I shot from the hip and I caught this shot. And then I processed it. I did it in black and white. And then I did a selective color, which was very popular at the time. And brought the, red color of the trolley and everything else is black and white.

And that's still probably one of my favorite cityscape shots.

Autumn Carter: My aunt, she since passed away, but she loved taking photos like that. And she had one with the trolley in San Francisco. Different background, different direction. Yeah. But that's a picture. There's so

Angela Andrieux: many great ones. And everyone gets the cable cars in San Francisco, but these, are the trolleys that run around the waterfront, so these ones are a little different.

Autumn Carter: Car.

Angela Andrieux: Yeah, the cable cars are super cool too. Don't get me wrong. I love those shots too. But this one was like an enclosed trolley and an old restored trolley car. It's, a neat [00:14:00] shot. It's, and it's one of my favorites.

Autumn Carter: San Francisco is still on my bucket list

Angela Andrieux: you've never been to San Francisco? Oh, you have to. It's an excellent city.

Autumn Carter: Been in other areas. Santa Barbara is my favorite of all of 'em.

Angela Andrieux: Hard, hard to beat Santa Barbara. Yeah, I grew up on the central coast of California about an hour north of Santa Barbara. Hour and a half. So

Autumn Carter: did you still have tar on the beaches or no?

Angela Andrieux: You mean like they have the dark spots?

Autumn Carter: My aunt and uncle lived in Carpentaria. So I remember getting tar stuck on my feet and you could see the ships that were right there that were mining tar,

Angela Andrieux: I don't know if that's still an issue, but Nina, now that you say that, I do remember that as a kid. Wipe your feet off and sometimes you had black stuff on your, I never even thought about it.

Autumn Carter: I just, it was our first time visiting.

We went on the beach. We stopped on the way to the house to visit the ocean, and it stuck to my feet and I could not get [00:15:00] it off. And my uncle quickly took care of it. I don't know what he used. Maybe out rubbing alcohol. I don't even know. Yeah. He was like, here, I got you. Quickly cleaned it off, but I was like picking at it on the drive to their house.

As you could tell I was little.

Angela Andrieux: And it's, those little things stick with you though. It's like I didn't even register. It was just like part of a normal, okay, you might end up with some black stuff on your feet if you stick it stuff.

Autumn Carter: Yeah. So how did you end up working with my Leo? It sounds like you had your own business, your own things that you were doing. How did you end up here?

Angela Andrieux: So it's an, organic flow through my journey as a creative. So I was doing my own thing and I had a call from a friend who worked at.

A different photography software company. This was several years ago. Hey, can you help us out with this? And I ended up working with them and it grew into more and more work. I worked with them for several years and then it evolved to where I learned of my Leo [00:16:00] photos. There was an opportunity to move up to try different things.

And I took this position. So it was really started from doing my own thing, having my own presence. And my own education that I was doing for photographers that I got pulled into working with photography software companies and ended up where I'm at.

Autumn Carter: Wow.

Angela Andrieux: And I still have my little side hustle. I still do stuff on the side and I still coach.

I still have my core clients that I love and I will do my best to always accommodate them and make sure that they get what they need.

Autumn Carter: I think that's the way that it works with creatives is you don't have this line that you follow. It's just it's

Angela Andrieux: very true.

I'm not happy if I'm stuck doing the same thing all the time. Even in my position with my Leo, I have my fingers in a lot of different stuff. So with product evangelism, my job is to help people be successful with the software. And that goes from, I do everything from write the, manual, like literally.

I wrote the manual. I do live streams for [00:17:00] them three times a week, live q and as and tutorials. I've done video courses. I work with our product team to make sure feedback from the customers is getting back to the product team so they know what to focus on, what needs to be fixed, what can be better.

I work hand in hand with our support team, so people need help. I funnel them to the right resources, and then I do stuff like this. So I'm helping out marketing as well, I'm really all over the place.

Autumn Carter: It sounds like it. Would you like to give us a demonstration?

Angela Andrieux: I certainly can.

Autumn Carter: Certainly

Angela Andrieux: Yeah.

Autumn Carter: Here I can pause it.

Angela Andrieux: Alright, so a little peek behind the scenes here. This is my Mylio Photos library. What you're seeing here is. Everything that's coming off my cell phone, you could see some screenshots here.

And my fine art pictures, which are back over here, if I scroll quite away so I can grab this little flag here at the top. Right now I'm in what's called the all photos view. So it's literally everything. I can go back years and years and I even have family history [00:18:00] pictures in here, scans, and stuff

my relatives that I've brought into my library. So this library spans back. Actually, I can show it a little bit better by going to the calendar view. So when you bring things into Mylio , it reads the metadata or the information that's already in your pictures. So it uses that to display your pictures in a more organized fashion.

So even if things are in a jumble of different folders. You can come into these views like the calendar view and it automatically puts everything onto a calendar for you. So scrolling back here, this is my life in pictures, and I can go back here to where, okay, now I'm back into scan pictures that I took from my photo albums as a kid.

I can go back even a little bit further to now. Before I was born, here's my parents' wedding and I have pictures all the way back here into the early 19 hundreds. So this is a place for me to bring everything that I have and be able to enjoy it. The cool thing about this is I can have [00:19:00] this app on my tablet and on my phone as well, and these devices talk directly to each other.

So you can have things in the cloud if you want to, or you can have your devices talk directly to each other, so it's very privacy centric. Nothing is locked behind any kind of paywall. This is a direct connection to my hard drive. If I right click on this and say show and folder, let me go ahead and pop that into the folder here.

One second. Let me find this picture. I'm just gonna go ahead and show this in the folder and then I can right click on this and say Reveal and Finder, and that's gonna show it to me in my file system. So nothing is behind a locked package. You own all your pictures. Nothing is stuck in my Leo, so this is just pointing to where it lives on my computer.

So we've got that calendar view that's really super cool. We have a map view, so this is great, especially for pictures that are coming off of your cell phone, because those typically have the metadata and the GPS information already built in there. You can add that to pictures that don't have it, but for the stuff that already does, it populates here on the map.

So you can take this and go, okay, where have I been? [00:20:00] Where do I need to go? And then you can also add, information to pictures that don't have it. Like I've never been to Detroit, Michigan, but my grandparents had. So I've added that information to these pictures and I can get to anything based on where it happened.

So calendar for if you remember things based on when they happened. That's a great place to go if you like to find things based on where they happened. This is an awesome option. And then my Leo photos also has incredible facial recognition. So what happens when you bring pictures into Mylio is it's looking for recognizable faces, and then you have the opportunity to tag them.

Once you've tagged somebody five to 10 times, it starts to recognize their face and we'll automatically group together similar faces, and once you've confirmed those, they show up in these collections. You very easily find pictures of people in my library. So if I wanna go back and I wanna find all of the pictures of my grandma here, I can click on that and that's gonna go in and pull all of the pictures I have of her.

And right now it's [00:21:00] zoomed in on her face. I'm just seeing her face in the picture. I can switch that view, turn off, zoom to face, and then I can see the picture in its full context. So I have all of these pictures and I can go to pictures of her anytime or anybody else in my library. So with my LEO photos, a lot of people think, okay, I have to organize my pictures.

It's this big project, and it can be, but the core is getting everything into one place. And then you have these three views, which I like to call kind of auto organization because it uses the information that's already in your pictures to help you find things easier. If you wanna build out albums for specific things, you can do those.

These are manual creations. So you make them for whatever. Grouping that you like. And they're virtual, so it doesn't duplicate anything. It doesn't physically move anything on your hard drive, but it lets you group things together in ways that make sense to you. So whether you wanna make a slideshow, like I did a slideshow here for when my husband retired from the military, or some [00:22:00] large vintage prints that I restored.

Bathroom and refinish product projects or anything else that you need to group together for different purposes. And then you also have the option, of course to browse everything by folder. So these are the actual physical folders that live on my computer. It's just a more visual way to browse them.

And there's a ton of different stuff here in Miley, but that gives you an. Overview of what the interface looks like and what it can do. I find it to be a tremendous help in my life because no matter where I'm at, I can pull up my phone, my tablet, I can get to my pictures, I can share them, and I can enjoy them.

And that's really where it's at.

Autumn Carter: This is perfect. If you are listening to the audio, I recommend going to YouTube so you can actually see this and you can get a really good glimpse of how great of a photographer she is. The graffiti skate park was really cool and you had some amazing landscape photos when you were scrolling down.

It was fun to see. Thank

Angela Andrieux: Yeah, so this was the Lake Dolores [00:23:00] waterpark. It's about two and a half hours maybe outside of Las Vegas. Oh, that's a waterpark. Wow. It was, yeah, at one time. Not so much anymore, but it's. Actually remarkably easy to go, wander around.

Gotta be careful 'cause it is an abandoned place, but it's right off of the Interstate 15 and you can just go walk in there and look around and take pictures and yeah, the place is absolutely covered with graffiti. Lots, of cool stuff and I love just exploring.

Autumn Carter: So how easily can you share these with other people? Is that like via email? Can you do it through text pretty easily?

Angela Andrieux: Yeah. So if I wanna go ahead and share this picture, or if I'm back here in the grid and I wanna share, let's say grab a bunch of these and share all of those, I can click little share icon here.

I can export a copy to my desktop. I can copy it straight to the system clipboard so I can then copy and paste it into. Web mail or social media posts or a blog post or whatever. [00:24:00] I can email them, send them as text messages. I can airdrop print. And then this gives shareable link. This is part of our shared album infrastructure.

So you can either create an album and curate it yourself or on the fly, grab some images and get shareable link. You can change the name. And publish an actual web link with those images. Oh, that's cool. So I can go ahead and do this, and it's gonna just upload and create a URL that I can then share with whoever I want.

They don't have to have the Mylio app to view them, they just go to a webpage and it's what we call semi-private because it's not indexed by search engine. So it's not gonna just get out there and be widely disseminated. But it is a web link. So however you share it is how it's going to be. Disseminated.

So if I go ahead and click on that's gonna go ahead and load up this link. And I could do a lot more with this to fancy it up, but this is basically what it looks like. And then anybody that I share this link with can come in here and see really good quality [00:25:00] images. And if you're sharing family photos, you can even enable downloads so they can download copies of those pictures.

Autumn Carter: That's really nice. I know back in the day when you tried to do that. The other person on the receiving end then needed to sign up and get a trial version and blah, blah, blah. Obviously not this program, but of other ones. So I really like that. That's smart.

Angela Andrieux: It's really, nice so you can, yeah, nobody has to download anything.

There's no signups required. It's just a URL, but then go and look at your pictures.

Autumn Carter: Just seeing okay, they must have a water slide there at one time and there,

Angela Andrieux: yeah, there were a bunch here. So there's one here and then this was like a lazy river kind of deal. A small one.

And then there's a big lazy river that goes around the entire perimeter of the park. And then there were big water slides appear on the hill. And this landing up here, there was another water slide up there. But yeah. That's crazy.

Autumn Carter: We have some like that back in my hometown. Cool. I guess they went bankrupt or [00:26:00] something, which is shocking because they were always crazy busy, especially in Arizona.

We needed it to survive and they closed down. And then they moved the water slides to another park, and then that park ended up closing down too. So they're just there. They ended up taking the slides down because it was a safety issue

Angela Andrieux: after it closed.

This particular park did have some sort of tragic event and legal troubles in ensued, and that was, I think, what led to this park's demise.

Autumn Carter: Maybe that's what happened to mine too. I was too young in elementary school, like lower end of elementary school, so who knows? I could Google at some point.

Yeah, maybe if I even remember the name. There was one other question that I had regarding this. I cannot remember. We will have in the description, the link to this if you are interested. [00:27:00] You said, oh, here's my question. Is there anybody who would put this together for us? Yes, I'm sure a service.

Is it some, there has to be someone on your team that does that service?

Angela Andrieux: Yeah. So when you sign up for my Leo photos, at a very minimum, you're going to get a one-on-one session with one of our experts to help you get started. So if you're a DI yer, you'll still have that one-on-one session.

And then you can take off and run. You can also buy additional sessions, or we have a partnership with an organization called the Photo Managers, and we have people who are Mylio certified with them. So these folks are professional photo organizers who. Take images. Some of them do scanning and digitization.

Some of them work with just digital. Depending on your needs, we can connect you with one of these people and then you would form a relationship with them to accomplish your project.

Autumn Carter: That's really nice because there are so many people at this [00:28:00] point. We live in a digital age and then we inherit the photo boxes, the dreaded photo boxes.

Yes. That is so true. And some of them are slides so it would be great for us to then take those and just. Here, somebody else, deal with it for me. Thanks. And then maybe you have them, you haven't dealt with them and you need a photo because somebody else in the family's asking for it.

So it would just be great to be able to hear somebody else do it and take my money for it and Yep. Make this pretty for me and make me look good.

Angela Andrieux: People who do that,

Autumn Carter: perfect. This was great. Is there anything else that you wanna share with us as we close out?

Angela Andrieux: I think my last parting thought that I'd like to share is don't let all your photos be like, keep your eggs all in one basket. Make sure you have a backup. You have more than one copy of your stuff. So if you have everything in the cloud, do what you can to get a local copy as [00:29:00] well.

Have an offsite copy, like the cloud as well, but try to have both because stuff happens. That offsite copy is your disaster recovery, but your local copy is in case there's some sort of data attack on that service. You wanna make sure that you're protected either way. So being able to maintain the backups, make sure your stuff is protected and safe.

That's probably one of the biggest takeaways that I'd love people to have from this. Mylio can help them do that.

Autumn Carter: I will be sharing this episode with my husband.

Angela Andrieux: Awesome.

Autumn Carter: Thank you so much for being on, and thank you listeners for listening through.

I hope you guys, if you were listening, that you caught the YouTube. Channel so that you could see her overview. It was really great to see her walk through it on her desktop and show us how it works, and especially somebody who has written the manual. She better know what she's talking about, right?

Wink, wink. I've written many a manual in my day, so I totally understand, [00:30:00] and this is. Really important. This does hit different dimensions of wellness. The one, the top one that I can think of is social because you can strengthen so many relationships by sharing photos. I know as I've gone through and cleaned out my photo box from high school I photos that I took of other people that I'm not in and I'm not really connected with them, I've reconnected with them through social media, found their address and mailed it to 'em, and it's reignited this.

Relationship with them, and it's been really fun. So there's that aspect of it. And doing that with your family members, you can strengthen social connections through this. And there is a lot of emotional you were sharing photos of your grandmother and it was very obvious that you had a close, your mother, sorry.

No, your grandmother. And then I did see your mother in there too. And there's a similarity in facial features. I was like, hold on. But I know that there was a [00:31:00] close relationship there, and just being able to see those photos and relive those memories strengthens your emotional health. So there is a lot here.

It can definitely cover spiritual, it can cover psychological, there's a lot here. So I hope that you really take the time to think about what are you doing with your photos and what do you want them to do for you? So thank you for this. Thanks for having me. This is a great

Angela Andrieux: conversation and hopefully it's helpful for people.
