As I mentioned on the twitter, I crossed 20,000 photos in my library I started taking pictures (not with my own camera) on 10/5/1999 (I think this may have been a scan). This was on the way to an mp3.com event with Brandon's band.

Then I bought my own camera, here is the first saved picture off of a Kodak DC280 From 11/11/1999.
Casey in Jason's Basement at band Practice.So then a lot of time passed, the camera got older and more crappy , but I had a hard time justifying the purchase of a new one. Eventually I did. On 10/15/2005 I took my first picture with a Cannon Powershot SD550. Quite the jump from the 2 mega pixel Kodak to the 7.1 mega pixel SD550.
George (the cat) playing with window blind strings in the dining room.So on 2/16/2007, the lens retraction mechanism on the SD550 stopped working. This was a problem. We were at Dan's Wedding and some time during the rehersal dinner, ths unfocused mess was taken. We took 5714 pictures before it needed repair.
Place setting at Cantina Loredo, I think?We ran off to Fry's on 2/18/2007 and picked up a Cannon Powershot SD800 IS. First picture, through the window of the hotel we were staying at, of the courtyard.
Courtyard of...uh...some hotel in Texas.
We did send the SD550 for repair and it allows us both to take pictures with our cameras now. They both are showing their age and I kind of want something better. Even if we only get a newer pocket camera, I'd also like a DSLR. A new camera has added into the mix. After much debate, my place of employment decided my logic was correct and allowed me to get an iPhone 4. So the first picture off of that, was...well...
Freyja and Loki in our basement on their kitty tower.That was from 6/9/2011. We've also added iPads to the mix earlier this year, but really, that not that convenient of a camera. So at this time we have the new iPad (mine), an iPad 2 (Shannon's), iPhone 4, SD800 IS, SD550 and I actually thing the DC280 still works. And the winner is:
20,000th Photo. At work, new cube, cup handed out at All Hands meeting (sent to Brandon) (iPhone 4)
So 20,000 photos over 4,592 days, 136.81 GB in my iPhoto library. I know some have more, some have less, but it's still quite an accomplishment.
