Interesting you should mention this. Very recently I was looking back through my archive for some pictures of our old house from a couple of years ago. We were there about 15 years, and my son grew up there til the age of 12. I came across shots I do not recall taking, some quite sensitive family shots (son in agony or ecstasy) and a whole raft of memories and emotions cascading down. I was actually quite drained after a couple of hours of that. I didn't think I would have been so affected. It was draining. I couldn't detach myself from the pictures and treat them simply as photographs - they drew me in and I could not fight it. Objectivity simply went away. More recent pictures I can look at and be cruel, deleting at will. The olders ones opened my mind and I could not delete a single one.
