memories

A couple has been reunited with their wedding photo after a tornado blew it 90 miles to a location two counties over in Iowa.

Photographs are made by cameras. But what if an image can be made from the memory of a human being? A research and design studio is using AI to do just that.

A company is providing people with a QR code that they can place on the headstone of a loved one which will pull up memorable photos and videos of that deceased person.

Google is making changes to Memories in Photos, which might be the biggest update the feature has seen since its launch. The redesigned Memories experience is designed to show more videos, feel more dynamic, and be sharable.

If you’re anything like me and have hundreds of thousands of files taking up terabytes of space on multiple RAID arrays and cloud services, finding specific photographs or figuring out where I might have duplicates can be an absolute headache.

For Father's Day this year, Dakota Deady surprised his father, Jones, with found footage of Jones' father who died when Jones was just a toddler. Jones had never seen anything but a single photograph.

Google has announced updates to its suite of AI-powered features in an effort to make it easier to look back and find meaningful moments and memories while giving better control over what is relived.

This past Mother’s Day marked ten years without my mom. I was 19, a sophomore in college trying desperately to become a respected adult when she died. Predictably, caring for and losing a parent is one way to really accelerate that process.

Google Photos is rolling out a new feature it is calling Memories, which lets viewers "relive the moments" from photos uploaded to the platform by transforming them into 3D cinematic images.

When I was maybe six years old, my father introduced me to Nathan’s. We had dropped off his mother at her what was to me dreary apartment. That woman never seemed happy to me, and it wasn’t until I became an adult, I understood why.

Pinball machines; depending on your age, you might know all about them. Once, considered so evil that New York City banned them. Wasted youths (juvenile delinquents) spent days and nights hanging out in pinball palaces. They were so ubiquitous, “The Who” even made them a central part of their rock opera, “Tommy.”

It’s an odd day. After months of quarantine, this trip to the framer and lunch with my mother just filled me with so many emotions. It’s been over a year and I have finally “finished” the hardest project I have ever done. The priority mailboxes have been sent and the backing is on the frames. I feel as if I should rip them open and start all over. In my heart, I know I’ll never be completely satisfied or “finished”

Countless photographs are snapped every day by people looking to preserve their life's experiences, but is the incessant picture taking actually robbing us of them? Travel photographer and writer Erin Sullivan recently gave this interesting 8-minute TED Talk on the subject.

100 years from now, no one is going to care who I am. I know this. I don’t mean that in a bad way and I don’t say it in the hopes someone will contradict me and shower me with praise; this is not said as compliment bait.

The simple act of capturing a photo of something impairs your memory of it, even if you don't plan on keeping the photo. That's what a new psychological study has found, but the reasons behind this are still unknown.

It's not a new feature, but today Apple has released a new cinematic commercial for its 'Memories' feature of the Photos app on iOS devices. It's poignant look at the power of photography in helping us enjoy memories.

Kodak Moments UK pulled a cringe-worthy prank on a few Londoners recently. They attracted unsuspecting strangers to their display under the guise of a "custom-built, super-fast phone charger," and then promptly 'wiped' all of the data off of their smartphones... oops.

Then-and-now photo recreations have become extremely popular online over the past several years. Especially with rephotographed family photos from decades past, the concept offers a fascinating look at how people have changed over the years.

Commercial portrait photographer Gabriel Hill's typical day involves photographing big players in the pharmaceutical industry, some of the wealthiest people in the world. But his powerful personal project ImPORTRAITS is all about people who have almost nothing: refugees who escaped their countries carrying only the bare essentials... and sometimes not even that.

Snapchat has evolved WAY past the simple self-destructing photo messenger it started as. And today, the app took a big leap forward by introducing 'Memories,' basically a Camera Roll inside the Snapchat app that lets you save, search, and replay or re-share old photos and videos.

Apple just unveiled iOS 10 at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco today. Among the new features is a smarter Photos app for making, storing, sharing, and revisiting your memories.

There's a simple, obvious power housed inside of a photograph. Even a poorly lit snapshot captured at arm's length with a few friends squeezed uncomfortably into the frame, even it is immeasurably precious because it contains the seeds of a memory.

This short doc by Google Photos reminds us of that fact.

"Lost Property" is a wonderful 5-minute animated short film by freelance animator Asa Lucander of Bristol, UK.

Here’s a touching 45-second video by ifolor, a photo printing company based in …

Earlier this year, Facebook launched the Moments app for both iOS and Android. Similar to many other applications out there, Moments is aimed at combining your photographs and your friends’ photographers from a single event into an easy to navigate album (and then uploading them to Facebook, of course). Today, the app has received an update that can automatically create movies from your experiences.

Memory Clock is an interesting new concept design that combines the world of clocks with the world of digital photo frames. It's a clock that helps you relive memories by showing you photos from the past.

An app called Anniversary is putting a new spin on remembering and reliving the visual moments we capture with our phones.

Rather than the usual method of instantly sharing an image or video on a social media network, Anniversary lets you share your memories with a friend on a future date of your choosing. The plan, of course, is to surprise the friend with a dose of nostalgia when they're least expecting it.
