@redcrew@mstdn.social I am not sure I can put "managing" and "photos" in the same sentence. :D :D They are generally in one glorious pile in Photos (I have a Mac). Over the years, I do have photos in folders after dates or specific events from when you could start to get digital copies of the paper photos you could develop. Therefore, some older ones might be better organised under a birthday date or some specific event. This isn't great if I am thinking where is that photo of Bob at some party when I don't remember which party or which year!
I thought your advice the other was great where I take maybe 5-10 photos of, say, a landscape or a portrait so my folders are bloating. That is especially true with grandkids. I mean, when I was little, my parents probably had about 10 photos max from an entire year. Now I have 10 photos from the first hour of a birthday party! :D I also have tons of garbage photos where I try to take a photo of a flower in the wind, and I hope one is sharp - but I don't clear out the truly crappy ones right away. I have also planned to do a chunk at a time. Like 30 min. 3 times a week or something to slowly whittle things down.
