Few things bring people closer together than a stroll down memory lane, flicking through a stack of old photos. They act as glossy reminders of cherished get-togethers, happy holidays and spontaneous snaps that captured a specific moment in time perfectly.
While for many during the time before digital photography, snaps were taken sparingly on 35mm camera film rolls with only 36 exposures before a trip to Boots to get the film developed and printed (often at quite the expense).
But now, the rise of the standalone digital camera and later the emergence of massive megapixel-packing smartphone cameras has practically done away with all that, letting people, young and old, rich and not-so-rich, snap away, free from the constraints of exposure allowance or, indeed, cash.
