   How many of those billion photos are "cherished"?   
      
   Kyle Cassidy, a photographer I admire, recommended taking your top 20   
   photos and printing them out. If you take one you like, replace one of   
   the 20 with it. I used to keep a line of picture wire in my office,   
   mounted 4x6 photos on backing paper and hung them on the line. I could   
   print them and switch them out at will that way. I miss doing that,   
   unfortunately I don't have the wall space any more.   
      
   Yeah, doing all sorts of image recognition on photos in the cloud is   
   nefarious -- I have photos in Google's cloud, and being able to search   
   photos by the names of items in the photos (not text in the photos) is   
   both intriguing and frightening.
