YES, this is good! Keep talking about organization and labeling, make me
ashamed!  Even if shooting for your own enjoyment, think about a life
for your photo work after you're gone.  Good quality photos, well
documented
will be a treasure in the future.  One look at "Vintage Rails"  or a
well
done book like "Passing Trains" shows the value of this effort.
David's method sounds like a possibility that I could use. What are
others doing besides stashing yellow and green boxes in a cupboard?
Anybody using a plastic slide page system?
