I have over 9GB of photos on my hard drive now.
And having recently discovered the amount of control after the fact shooting in RAW gives me, I’m tempted to start shooting in it instead of JPG. What does that do to my file size? MORE THAN DOUBLES IT!
So. I made a new sorting structure for my mess of image files and started going through them. I am finding it ridiculously hard to part with them. I remember clearly every moment that every last one of them was taken, and it feels like I’m getting rid of something special. Even when the photo is of nothing of importance and isn’t particularly artistic, I am having difficulty letting go.
I’m going to have to get over it and learn to delete.

Why delete them, then? I don’t delete anything. Just keep adding HDD space if you need it.
Also, as far as organizing digital images goes, adobe lightroom is hard to beat.

Mikey, I guess maybe it IS that simple. It just seems strange to me to keep so much of something around. But you’re right, HDD space is cheap enough that I could easily go on merrily with my stash of files ever-growing.
