I found something very old in my Gmail account. Now, because when uploading a photo to Gmail you would sometimes loose EXIF data, I'm not 100% sure when this photo was taken, but I did find an old photo of Maze from 2009.
Maze in in the center of the photo in a blue shirt carrying a bucket. Our brother David is on the left. I took this photo of them on an old phone. Almost all of the photos from that time period were lost because they were backed up onto hard drives that broke down. I found this photo in an email I sent to myself on the 9th of August in 2009. If you've ever been to Sandy Point beach you probably recognize that abandoned pier in the background. If I remember correctly we went to that beach a couple times that summer.
I feel lucky that Gmail kept this photo that long. If I look backward to emails I sent back in 2007-2011 many of the attachments are null or corrupted. I don't know why I sent his one photo to myself back in 2009, the email is otherwise blank, but the current me of 2023 is very happy the me of 2009 did so. It's not a good photo or a hi-res one, but it's more than nothing.
Here are two that I did not loose which were taken on the same day:
