Un-named Old Photos

Since I started tracing my Family tree I have noticed how frequently our parents and grandparents either neglected to name people in their family snapshots or just labled them , for example, 'Mums sister' or 'Uncle Alf'.
I myself have a box of about 400 wonderful old family photos - with absolutely no idea at all who the people were and how they are related to me.
With the now advent of digital photos it is probable that this problem is going to get worse.
I have tried identifying them through the photography studio marked on the back but most of these are now out of existence.
Does any-one else share my frustration about this issue.?

I now it is terrible but I can't say I am any better I haven't even printed off half the photos I have taken so they are just all on a cd and people in 100 years time wil have no idea who they are of.
