I can't be the only one who takes far too many photographs

My phone gave up on me the other day. I was trying to upload something to Instagram when it performed the digital equivalent of a complete nervous breakdown. As I attempted to select the picture in question – one of me out on a run that nobody really needed to see, much less myself – it juddered and shuddered and refused to comply. Nope, it was not going to play ball and show me any of the pictures or videos in its ever-expanding photo album. As I jabbed at the screen in rage, I realised it was giving me a message I had been ignoring for some time: I have far too many photos on my phone.
