Point of posting - Its a hobby, I have had so many interesting things go through my hands over the years and now only faint memories remain. So I hope that posting here and unlike all those lost sd cards/bad hardrives/lost actual paper photos it may become a kind of record of things that have passed. Something I can look back at in the future.
