Finding my 32,000th photo was more complicated than it should have been. It turns out that I accidentally mis-set the time on the camera (yes, you youths, there was such as thing as “manually setting date and time”) and so on my Great Plains trip, the file names were not aligned with the dates they were taken. Plus, I had to integrate photos from a backup camera.
It ended up that the milestone-holder (bottom) was rather pedestrian, so I also have one that I first thought was #32,000.
