"Barbara Iweins spent four years taking pictures of every object in her home, from her own clothes to her kids’ toys. She realised she could live without 99% of them."

Here's a part of the 1% that are indispensible :

Haha...someone with a lot of time on their hands 😆 I might have that total amount of items just in Train stuff let alone all the other stuff I have around here. I have often thought to photograph every valuable item and general pictures of each room as Insurance companies recommend but never did. Just keeping everything updated would be a chore. Wonder if she updated always like when buying something new to replace old or if she lost a paper clip.

well, i do take photos of my trackmaster collections but if i have a duplicate of an item, i just take one photo of it instead of each one individually

But are you so sad (like me) that you keep a record of and photograph all the different variants of, for example, a curve rail?  All the different copyright, registration, production markings?

i am not as diehard fan as you are.  i just take photograph of my engines and rolling stocks.

I could not fathom this level of dedication, but I still find myself fascinated by it. While a good read, I wonder if she now takes photos of the photos she now owns lol
