A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I’ve been taking pictures since I was a teenager now my kids have grown up an I have over 90k pics.

I’m also digitizing Slides, 8mm film, printed pic etc.

Any ideas on software , techniques, steps, cool ideas to organize this and maybe put them to some use ?

Thank you 🙏

I use the file system. I have old stuff by decade and then subfolders by year.

Newer stuff by year. Subfolder such as 2023-11 Grandma visit

It's not keyworded, but I'm not about to do that and don't want to depend upon some commercial software (Like Lightroom) to organize my photos. I like it this way.

Keywords can be stored in the EXIF (IPTC) data, no need to buy commercial software to do that.
