How nice to read your post on this rainy day in Argentina. Like you, I have to organize my photos. I have a lot of material on my phone to post on Hive, so as soon as I can, I'll get that organized.
It's a little sad, but it's true that every four years, you're almost forced to change your cell phone.
I don't see it as sad because you get a much better one. The truth is, with technology developed at break neck speed, you need one if you want to keep up. Most likely life is a bit simpler in your country but here you need a phone app for a lot of things and you can't live without it unless you decide to live in stone age, like some, who can't keep up with the world.
