Tip #1 is totally genius, I need to figure out how to do that on my digi. In regards to #7, I know more people have smart phones these days as opposed to a few years ago. I find snapping hotel and street sign pics with my phone a bit easier, just my 2 cents.

When I went to France last year, I forgot my watch at home. So whenever I wanted to know the time, I would just take a picture of wherever it was that I was standing, and look at the time on the digital display. I ended up with quite a few amazing shots that way, of just generic streetscapes or diners in a cafe. =]

I photograph my house every day so I can remember where I live.

I like to visit zoos when I travel and find that snapping a pic of both an animal and the descriptive sign helps me remember the new species I see.

Add parking spaces to the list – especially if you leave your car for a long period of time – we always snap a shot of our parking space, marker number and if necessary the floor number – makes life easier when we return for our car!

Hehe, nice tips. Its often the case that I use my camera as an emergency back up light/torch in hostels rather than remembering where i’ve been. I’ll work on this though! Thanks for the post.

I really enjoyed reading this. My partner and I did take a photo of subway map in Tokyo. Without that we would have been lost there! It is very good idea about taking a photo of rental cars. We had ‘almost scam’ in our last trip.

I use my digital camera (and the camera on my phone) for everything. I hate jotting notes, using maps and remembering things I want to do. I take pictures of desserts I want to try so I know WHY I want to go back to a restaurant. I take pictures of menu items that catch my interest so I can look up the recipe later, I take pictures of ads I see in magazines or while walking about. If I am wondering around and notice someplace that may be of interest later, I take a photo of the place I want to return to followed by a photo of the street sign(s). Knowing WHERE someplace is located without google or a concierge is very useful.
