Comment on Ask HN: How do you manage photos, philosophically?

Comments

I import all my photos onto my HDD with shotwell. They are just saved in folders by date.

If I see a picture I don't like I delete it immediately. The main problem is that we keep to many pictures. From time to time I go through some months of pictures and delete as much as I can, add some stars to good pictures and postprocess some.

Also from time to time we order prints of all of the "filtered" pictures and then we put them into a physical photo album. We certainly looked at these photos as a family but we never look at the digital ones.

The big problem with all kinds of digital collections is that you don't find anything at some point.
