I've got the entire catalogue from the Royal photographic society 1870-1915 saved left over from my PhD. But the earliest of those are scans-of-sketches-of-photos because they pre-date the technology to easily duplicate photographs.

2016, apparently a screen cap from when I was playing Blackbox.
I won't post it but it's a picture of my old roommate with her almost crawling out of bed. Her bedroom is a disaster with old food plates, clothes everywhere, fast food bags, etc. Just a disaster. It wasn't gross, just very messy. She had just woken up and had been drinking the night prior.
I took a photo of it all from like 45 degrees up and stylized it in an oil painting style. I printed it out in canvas and gave it to her as a gift and titled it, "depression" she loved it and still has it.
I've got something from at least 2012 on my phone. Just a picture of me in a suit. Not a good picture either.
I dont even speak Spanish lol
I guess it's something my friend who studies in Spain sent me
That's català
Ahh, thanks. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless there's a ç in there
Edit: oh, there is. I should have known, oops
1937, family photo
From 2004. Wonder what they're doing now. Probably retired, right?
Not the oldest oldest, but the ones from that day that were the least bad. 2014 supposedly.
And I'm still loving Deftones, over 20 years later
The oldest photo on my phone is about three weeks old because I often go through my photos and delete or archive them.
Just a high score I got in a crummy mobile game I used to play where all you do is shout as a head and try to go as far as possible to the right. Circa 2018. Oldest saved photo I have on the phone I am currently using. Otherwise, it'd probably just be a picture from a school trip to Seattle.
October 2005 is when I saved this and it has been through many phones.
I was disappointed to find out the oldest picture on my phone is a system icon file from 2017, two phones ago. I guess it tagged along on the external SD card.
Not easy to tell as I have a lot of old photo scans where I'm not sure of the original date. So let's try this terrible photo, which I think was the first on a roll taken sometime in the 1980s. I don't remember that bunny so I must have been very young.
Saved pic I used as reference for my Oath of Ancients Paladin idea from waaaaaaaay back that started out as basically Dinidan of the round table and The Green Knight and eventually turned into a tree.
From Brooklyn, 2012
