Or college, or parents' hometowns, or place you lived for a while in. I love browsing Flickr for everything, but I especially love looking at familiar places. It reminds me that things have been before me and will be after I'm gone. This picture is from uptown Athens, OH in 2008.

I get a little emotional scrolling on there because it’s so sweet and tender to look at what everyone thought was worth memorialising and it has definitely inspired me to take pics of things I absolutely would never have considered before.
My dad always tells me to take a lot of photos of things that may seem mundane to me today -> i.e the streets I walk on often, or the front of the coffee shops I always go to. Simply because it’ll be nice to look back on, and the film is cheap (bc it’s an iPhone).
Not all recs are made equal. Who am I to recommend anything? What gives me any right or authority? Anything I say could be wrong and bad. I don't want to give any recommendations. All I can say is if I like something. I don't know if you should try it—least of all if I don't know you.
