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 have short films, projects that never got made, personal photos, ones of friends, clients, old family ones .. i do some writing and store different documents. I want to have a Mari Kundo type hard drive.

Do you guys have any tips? Or some industry standard I’m not aware of?

On 2 external drives - folders for each year, with subfolders of each month and subfolders of each memory card download - all referenced by date.
Also I have a Smugmug account with a private gallery of every photo ever taken, in folders by month. And all local drives are backed up with Backblaze.
