me skiing in Russia in the early 90s just after the dissolution of the Soviet Union
I tend to keep my phone's photo reel fairly empty to stay under Apple's free limit for backups.
But this photo has been with me for a few years:
It is a photo of Arlanda airport, the busiest airport in Sweden, taken at about 08:00 on a workday during the early stages of the pandemic.
I had to go on a domestic trip to set up a computer for a VIP at an external location, and had to fly.
It was such a bizzare experience that I had to take a few photos...
February 2011.
My now-deceased cat.
Wtf is that
the oldest pic on my phone. I cleared it off about a month ago, take it or leave it.
That’s Batman

The top of their head is perfectly round. It's really unsettling lol.
2015
A screenshot I took for whatever reason in 2006, it's quite a relic.
I wish websites were still laid out like this
So much nostalgia in that screenshot

Oldest thing saved to my phone; is from 2021. My cloud storage, OTOH, can go all the way back to 2008.

Very normal. Nothing suspicious going on over here.
Moisturize me
Impromptu memorial on Las Vegas Blvd less than a week after the shooting in 2017. I was attending a conference that week, which they chose not to reschedule, because 'we can't let terrorism win!'
It was an eerie feeling being there so soon after.
I changed my phone maybe 3 years ago so this is the oldest photo stored on it.
A picture that I send to my significant other when I’m going back home and missed the bus or tramway. It happens way to often to my taste.
I still want one
Quick shots from the roof of my student CO-OP back when I bought my first digital camera in 2002
The tennis court in the second photo turned into a parking structure something like 20y ago, afaik FORT AWESOME is still there
Probably this scanned photo of my grandfather in WWII somewhere in France or Germany around 1943-44. He was a calculator for the 8th Armored Division 398th Armored Field Artillery Battalion M-7 tanks.
March 14, 1999.
It appears to be the first photo I took on my Sony Mavica camera - the one you put a floppy disk in.
I think it was in the car park at the back of RetraVision in Bourke, NSW, Australia.
Camera still works.

When I got my new phone I immediately got a call if I want to go out for a couple of drinks.
My guitar <3 photo from 2012
Me in 2015 in a box seat at Lincoln Financial Field. It was an Eagles preseason game and I had been doing an internship at a law firm that owned the box.
It was a fun few months but it convinced me not to go to law school. I still remember when one of the partners at the firm looked me dead in the eye and said “you know we have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession, right?”
Edit: second oldest photo is an article someone sent me over a year later, titled “Is communism cool? Ask a millennial.” Pretty sure it was written by some Heritage Foundation hack or something and I got into a spirited discussion with a family member over it.
July 25th 2024
Edit: For clarity, my friends and I have some wild humor, I received a similar one in response lmao
An etch-a-sketch art piece from 2018. I used to make etch-a-sketch drawings when I was younger, mostly of trains and buildings. I think I liked the limitations of the method. I drew them while waiting in the room where my sibling took lessons, and while I later got my own, it doesn't work very well so I no longer do them.
(This isn't the same drawing, but it's close to the first, and doesn't contain my face in the reflection)
Although if you include cloud backups that my device has access to...
That's from August 1979.
2/2/2021 - A spring roll recipe...
I think they were okay. I used a recipe once that used chestnuts for texture and it was freaking amazing!
I've not been able to find the same recipe again.
My phone started freaking out after a recent update and I was just about to go on a trip. So I hurriedly factory reset to get it functional and hoped all automatic backups were good. The critical ones were for sure, but stuff like camera roll I don't care about as much.
I haven't even tried to load and check the camera roll backup yet, meaning the oldest photo on my phone is a whopping two weeks old and is of my parking space number at the airport. It's a grey Camry, just about the most common color and the most common car. Man, I would never find it if I forgot where I parked it.
If we expand "devices" to my laptop and storage drives, the oldest photo is early 1900s. A shot of my great grandmother as a little girl standing outside the sod house she grew up in.
I took this to mean the oldest picture in my cloud account, because my phone manages its storage automatically.
According to the metadata, it’s from Apr 6, 2007. It’s from a trip to my grandma’s house. I don’t know why I took a picture of it. Anyone want to make them and send me one?
My friend's dog Greta. She was already an old lady when I took this picture in 2015 and passed a year or two ago.
