Confessions from professional photographer, artist and our business consultant, Rosie
Original at: www.rosiehartmann.com
Photo organization, I can’t do it. It is really funny actually. Most artists do not like the business side of working within the different avenues of the art world. They find it horrifying. They can look at their pictures and get them tagged, filed and findable. With the software today like Picasa, where you can easily use the face finder function and tag people it has gotten so much easier.
Me? I would rather work on the business side then organize and tag pictures. You may as well just apply the most de-motivated poster to me. It’s ironic that the business I do the most consulting for is a photo organization business.
It is also humorous that I choose the water drop oldie but goodie picture for yesterday. One week I shot over 1,500 pictures a day in search of the perfect method to get water drop pictures. I was obsessed. Yet, I could not even spend 3 hours on organizing all of those shots yesterday.
I can’t organize this mess. I have over 115,000 shots in my library. That number is where I stopped counting. I have filled almost a terabyte of space with pictures. So in the spirit of giving up, I am going to go paint my kitchen cabinets black now. If I am lucky, while I am doing that my sister will come over and take control of my photo mess.

🙂 Thanks for sharing the story! Love the picture you snapped of me for it. All I can say is good luck on getting this figured out for me. I know I can be a demanding photog at times.
