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 software Digikam. It allows different views on your images like: sorted by date, file structure, people (it has face detection, but it needs some manual improvements), by tags (you can tag your images with your own categories), by location (if your images saved the geo location.

I really like it alot and with the search function you'll find old pictures very fast, IF you took your time to tag the images and let face detection run over all your images.

Edit: forgot to mention that its free and open source!
