I use a pretty simple system for my original images. Generally, I can remember where a shot was taken, so I have my photos organized in folders by place name ("MontpelierVT" for example). I then have subfolders that are named with the event/location and the date of the shoot ("Cemetary-06-05-03"). Sometimes I use another layer of folders for each subject ("ManchesterVT -> Home -> Studio -> Candles"). This system works pretty well for me. I can't do any searching, but it doesn't really take long to find an image as long as I remembered where it was taken. Postworked images generally get put into a single directory, where I use the Windows XP thumbnail view to find what I need. -Taltos
