How I Organize my Photos
I have a large collection of digital photos dating back over 15 years. An impressively small fraction of them are actually any good, but that's a different conversation, probably revolving around my digital hoarding habits.
Such a large collection deserves a particular method of organization. Or maybe it doesn't. Did I mention they're mostly mediocre? Anyway, I have one! I thought I'd share in case anyone finds it useful (including a future version of myself, my mind being a sieve and all).
The procedure I came up with is strongly influenced by several personal idiosyncrasies. Obviously, not everyone shares these traits, so your mileage will definitely vary - though I think it's always interesting to read about how other people do things.
