Well hello there, I’ve been managing a photo library for some time and today was reading a discussion online about how people manage their collections. I thought I would share how I manage mine.

The solution I found for my photo workflow is that I’ve installed AeroFS on my computers and I store my latest photos from the last several months in that folder. It syncs across all of my computers, that way my wife and I can use Picasa or Lightroom and the photos load fast since they are on our local drives.

Since we store folders in a /year/month/ file structure we can easily move those to an external hard drive.

The whole thing backs up to CrashPlan. My entire collection is over 1.5 TB of photos.

A video from the Space Station has captured what it feels like to fly over the Earth. I added my own touch.

I stumbled across this beautiful motorcycle this morning. The 1928 Sunbeam Model 90.

Some amazing photos of a man who paints himself. Via Matt Linderman.

The light bulb is such a familiar shape that when you change the shape like this it’s startling.

Andy Ferra told me about ViewAt.org this morning and I just had to share it. It’s a site where you can click on a map to see panoramic views from that location. Pretty cool.

Similarily, check out this interesting AZ ChopperCam site, with some interesting photos taken from a helicopter in Arizona.

Don’t let the cheesy design fool you, this is one awesome site. It makes it easy to create a slideshow of your Flickr collection instantly. The best thing, is you can pick among eight different designs — all for free.
