[49]Grief and a Photo Shuffle
|
||
|
||
Charlie Warzel’s beloved dog died last year, and he [50]used an iPhone feature
|
||
to memorialize her:
|
||
|
||
Instead of a memorial photo of Peggy, I opted to try a newer, “dynamic”
|
||
wallpaper feature called “Photo Shuffle.” Every so often, my iPhone would
|
||
change my wallpaper and home screen to an image it had grabbed from my
|
||
camera roll. To help it along, I could offer parameters for the photo
|
||
choice. Knowing that Apple’s Photos app uses image-recognition software to
|
||
identify cats and dogs in the camera roll, I chose a “Pets” filter.
|
||
|
||
Grief is not linear, and neither is Photo Shuffle. Over the next few
|
||
months, I watched the photos change in and out at random—always with a dog
|
||
in focus.
|
||
|
||
Not only do I empathize with Warzel’s situation (we lost a beloved dog in
|
||
August 2022), but [51]as I wrote about last year, my wife and I also recently
|
||
started using the Photo Shuffle feature that was introduced with iOS 16… and
|
||
it’s pretty powerful.
|
||
|
||
Not a week goes by where my wife doesn’t show me one of the pictures of our
|
||
kids (her phone is set to shuffle through photos in which either of our
|
||
children’s faces has been identtified) that have surfaced on her phone’s lock
|
||
screen. We’ve taken tens of thousands of photos of these children over two
|
||
decades, and while many photos are familiar (the ones that we’ve printed out
|
||
and framed, or put on calendars, or added to a Favorites list), the vast
|
||
majority of them have largely gone unseen, filed away in an infinite iCloud
|
||
Photo Library filing cabinet.
|
||
|
||
One of the magical thing about Photo Shuffle is that those obscure photos also
|
||
keep floating to the top. They’re not necessarily the best or most polished,
|
||
but they’re surprising and delightful.
|
||
|
||
Warzel writes that iOS has “taught me how to grieve,” and while I haven’t used
|
||
Photo Shuffle to grapple with that particular emotion, just a few weeks after
|
||
our dog died, our youngest child went off to college and we officially became
|
||
empty nesters. I suppose the Photo Shuffle is filling a particular (but
|
||
different) emotional need for us, too.
