New photo organizer
Learn how to efficiently organize and manage your photos by leveraging tools like Flickr Organizr and Lightroom for a clutter-free digital library.
I've been meaning to figure out a good way to get organized on my photos. Right now I have my directory structure broken down by d:\images\year\month\day
which doesn't work too bad, but I think I need an organization system that allows searching by content/topic, instead of just date.
Scoble posted about Flickr Organizr, I may have to try it out tonight.
Update 2024:
I actually still organize my photos with the same pattern as mentioned above, but nowadays Lightroom does all that organization for me. I have 20+ years of photos organized by Year/Month/Day and it works out pretty good.
I do need to go back and clean up my photos a bit. With 20+ years I have a lot of stuff I could simply purge, primarily starting with duplicate content. Content that I have the original image, along with smaller/resized versions of the same image. No need to keep the smaller copies, originals will suffice.
