I have several relatives and friends who are involved in various creative artwork, mostly hobbyists. Painters, weavers, basket makers, quilters, stitchers, etc. Once you have made your first 100-150 baskets you will have given several to all friends and relatives, filled up your own house, and every time you have the itch to start a new project you have this worry about storage space. How many paintings can fit in one person's house? Same problem with pots, sculptures, etc. etc. You and I, on the other hand, have the luxury of storing our art as teeny-weeny electronic thingies on some discs and you think you have a problem?!?

But as to your question: 1. Take fewer pictures. Be more selective. Use a tripod. 2. Do a quick run-through of your images as soon as possible. Give a 1 rating to keepers, skip the rest. If and when you have time, you can re-review the zeros and verify tht there are no keepers in that bunch, but meanwhile you have established a basic (smaller) set to work with. 3. Sometime later, sort out the 1's, go through those and give a 2 to any you might work with in the near future to satisfy those nagging commitments. 4. When you have time to work with your 2's, upgrade them to 3, 4, or 5 depending on how thrilled you are with them after you've done what you could to them in post processing. 5. Make a Collection of your higher rated ones from an event so you can quickly find and distribute shots to others. When you re-visit that event 6 months later, don't look at the whole set, just look at those in the collection. The only time to go back to the zeros, 1's, or 2's is a) if you are bored and need something to fiddle with for the evening, or b) you realize that a specific pereson or other subject doesn't show up in any of the higher rated shots. 6. Try to avoid commitments in the first place! stan On Sep 22, 2014, at 2:23 PM, Igor PDML-StR <pdml...@komkon.org> wrote: > > Yes, I hate digital photography! > With a digital camera, I am producing to many photographs to be able to > deal with. > Even though I take photographs only a few days a month, they come in "bursts" > of several hundreds, and then I don't have time to select and process them. > > Back in the earlier film era (20+ years), when I was shooting B&W, I had a > similar situation with a backlog (but on a different scale), - since I was > developing and printing myself.
