organize my photographs

is somewhat more daunting. but once I get going, it’ll be fine.

I’m not sure where/how to start.

-Get a backup ASAP of my online photoblog
-Geotag all the pictures
-Order a photoalbum of my favourites to give to my family and friends

I have tons of pictures that I need to sort through. I have them all pretty much in a box right now and most of them aren’t saved on my computer yet. I need to start this soon.

divvied into folders by decade. online stuff into folders by subject. hurrah!

both on my computer and with the photographs I have in a box.

I had a giant rubbermaid tub and another box full of loose photos and packs of photos, all from the last 10 years or so. For the last month or so I have been trying to put them all in chronological order. What a chore this has been! I have thrown out some of people that I haven’t talked to in years and some poor quality snapshots. I pulled out all of the photo CDs and discs and put them in a separate box. Now I have 5 photo boxes with dividers in them for each year.

I spent three more hours doing this yesterday and still have more to go through. I know I have a darn good start.

This is something I am desperate to find time to do.

I love photography – always have, and feel like instead of just filing photos- I need to actually file and organise my life.

I definately need to sort out baby books for my two boys.

I am not making very good progress. :(

within my existing photo programs. I want to resist the urge to buy special photo organizing software.

Do wish I could afford a new edition of Adobe Photoshop, but that’s down the road quite a way.
