I have put the folding table in my guest room as planned.  I am now ready to start the BIG sort out of photographs.  Have labelled some piles using copy paper and a sharpie pen to indicate the different categories.  Time for action.

This brings me to todays topic.  How to deal with digital media going forward.  We all have tons of pictures on our cameras, smart phones, tablets, computers, etc.  I have done a few things to try and organise my pictures, but am still not entirely happy with my system.  We don’t want to lose our precious memories after all.  Well this morning whilst checking out Facebook, I came across a post by Becky Higgins for someone who has done just this.  Absolutely synchronous or Divine Timing as they say.

I have written down her strategies.  Going forward I intend to slowly work through the backlog, and then develop a habit where by I attend to such things on the fly.  I do not want to be in this position again.

I have held off getting a dropbox account, but now think “it is time”.  I have learned a good way to label my files for easy retrieval and a colour coded system which will tell me at what level of organisation that file is in the system.  ie. photo edited, ready to print, etc.

I will share more as time goes on.  Hopefully this is food for thought for you too.

Blessings,

Coastal Girl.
