We have home server that does nightly and weekly backups so my photo folders are included in those. As the backups are duel it means I have several copies of my photos cluttering up my harddrives.

Last week I spent a lot of time going through many of the photos I have deleting much that are no longer up to scratch due me taking better shots at later dates. I also culled out a lot of photos that were fine but simply too similar to other photos.

Excluding event photography the rest of my better photos get printed in A4 so I have a pile of those. Some are in a portfolio I can hand to curious visitors and some are loose.

I'm getting some large frames made up so I can put up some of my better landscapes around the house in 20x30 inch.

The next plan will be to have a digital photo frame and load that up and keep it running 24/7. I've waited though because I wanted to get something with a half decent size/res. They are slowly getting there I think.

I have two sets of cd's, one in a fire proof safe.

After burning photos, I only keep the handful that really mean anything to me on the computer. I have one folder for that..to date has maybe 50 photos in it.

Those are the photos that I enlarge, I have a look in my head on how I want this house to look like after we renovate and it should look sharp!

Most times I do 4x6 of all the half decent images to have at hands sight in case.

Although I will be switching up filing system that I find faulty.

Good thread topic!

I must confess.......

At this point in time, well over 99% of my personal shots sit on my hard drive waiting for me to process them.

It sucks and it's one of the biggest cons of going digital IMO.

I completely forgot about this thread until I saw it again tonight!!!

So, we see a bit of printing, framing, tossing, hoarding. The full gamete. Hmmm. Maybe a few more contributors to the thread may offer some more ideas?
