From 2004. Wonder what they're doing now. Probably retired, right?

Just a high score I got in a crummy mobile game I used to play where all you do is shout as a head and try to go as far as possible to the right. Circa 2018. Oldest saved photo I have on the phone I am currently using. Otherwise, it'd probably just be a picture from a school trip to Seattle.
And I'm still loving Deftones, over 20 years later
I was disappointed to find out the oldest picture on my phone is a system icon file from 2017, two phones ago. I guess it tagged along on the external SD card.
Although if you include cloud backups that my device has access to...
That's from August 1979.
1937, family photo
The oldest photo on my phone is about three weeks old because I often go through my photos and delete or archive them.
I dont even speak Spanish lol
I guess it's something my friend who studies in Spain sent me
That's català
Ahh, thanks. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless there's a ç in there
Edit: oh, there is. I should have known, oops
Me, returning home after a night of drinking.
You're handsome
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.
July 25th 2024
Edit: For clarity, my friends and I have some wild humor, I received a similar one in response lmao
Not the oldest oldest, but the ones from that day that were the least bad. 2014 supposedly.
I won't post it but it's a picture of my old roommate with her almost crawling out of bed. Her bedroom is a disaster with old food plates, clothes everywhere, fast food bags, etc. Just a disaster. It wasn't gross, just very messy. She had just woken up and had been drinking the night prior.
I took a photo of it all from like 45 degrees up and stylized it in an oil painting style. I printed it out in canvas and gave it to her as a gift and titled it, "depression" she loved it and still has it.
2016, apparently a screen cap from when I was playing Blackbox.
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.
the quality is really quite good for that era and storage media.
I've got the entire catalogue from the Royal photographic society 1870-1915 saved left over from my PhD. But the earliest of those are scans-of-sketches-of-photos because they pre-date the technology to easily duplicate photographs.
Earliest native digital images looks like 2003
Not easy to tell as I have a lot of old photo scans where I'm not sure of the original date. So let's try this terrible photo, which I think was the first on a roll taken sometime in the 1980s. I don't remember that bunny so I must have been very young.
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.
A screenshot I took for whatever reason in 2006, it's quite a relic.
I wish websites were still laid out like this
Wow. I love it.
Avast antivirus spinning icon 😀 Ah memories!
So much nostalgia in that screenshot
From Brooklyn, 2012
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.
October 2005 is when I saved this and it has been through many phones.
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?
February 2011.
I still want one
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)
My now-deceased cat.
