I totally TOTALLY TOTALLY agree Kayla! Ever since I started project life and have been keeping a pretty good log of the little bits of our everyday life, including the funny things my daughters are saying pictures they draw, etc. it has been quite freeing. I never realized how much the weight of “oh dear, when will I get organized/caught up/have time to do xyz” negatively impacted my creativity until it was lifted. And like you pointed out, there is bliss when you are creating for the sake of creating (vs. “catching up).
I’d like to get to the point where you are, with your impressively organized and robust photos. I think once my photos are easily searchable, making photobooks will become that much easier for me. I’m looking forward to getting more organizational tips from you Kayla.

Great point. The thing that makes me feel confident in adding the metadata to the files is that journalists have been using IPTC and EXIF for years and I believe they will continue to do so. I think that future software will make it easy to extract to updated technologies – a much easier process than our generations scanning and typing.

Someone mentioned this above but I am also interested in how we go forward with the technology as it changes to be able to view and read all this information that may be outdated. Technology changes so fast and I don’t see how we will be able to keep up with the new, let alone putting it all onto something new so it is accessible. I do agree strongly with the journaling of the stories though. That is far more important than a lot of pretty pages decorated with the latest embellishments.
