Sorting


I have begun the monumental task of sorting and archiving the over 10,000 photos that I have taken in the past year. Last week, I purchased a 1TB WD External Storage Drive, and I have been using the book "Digital Asset Management" by Peter Krogh.( ISBN-10: 0-596-10018-3 )

After deciding on a directory structure, the next step is breaking the existing folders into ~4GB "buckets" for easy archiving to DVD-R. By far the worst part is going to be going through each one and deciding "Keep or Toss", and adding tags for ease of location later. Any bets as to exactly how many pictures I have taken of Molly since August of 2008?
