You have a digital camera? How many photos do you have?
How quicky can you find a photo on your computer?
Secs...mins...hours...Or it takes forever?

SanIdeos calls this photo-manager (and a lot more) Clickstream!

IT STARTS WITH ONE PHOTO
shared
on social networks, photo-sahring service etc
archived
on online photo-storage, hard disks etc
documented
on blogs, micro-blogs etc

Most photos do NOT ONLY stay on the device (viz. phone or camera) or system( viz. computer). With the proliferation of social network-
ing and archival platforms, now they are saved and shared with others. They are added to blogs and other artifacts that exist online.
AROUND THE SAME TIME THE PHOTO WAS CLICKED, OTHER THINGS HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE
tweeted : holi eve celebrations at the studio
sanideos blogged : rains washed Delhi making ushering the perfect holi mood
facebooked : bonfire, dance and colours
Other day-to-day activities also provide key information about our lives.
They indirectly add information to artifacts pointing to us.

AFTER MANY MONTHS OR MAY BE YEARS
Looking for the hi-res photo to print
clicked at the studio, bonfire next to the workshop
it was holi eve
we danced, Goofy was tipsy
played music on the KDs speakers
should have filed
photos properly
Did I rename “New Folder” to “Holi”
the photos certainly were “100_****” names.
