Organizing working images, archiving all images, what approach to take?

You own a 5D, so I would presume that you are no newbie to photography.
Maybe I am wrong, but generally I have found that this is the case with 5D
users. Of course, this is not always true.

You are also a programmer, so I would also presume that you are no newbie to
computers.

In addition to this, you are using CS2, which comes with Adobe Bridge, which
allows you to view thumbnails and organise very easily.

You are also using a good filing system, for example "2008-01-18 Death
Valley".

All in all, a pretty good setup. So when you said that you "may be able to
write something that could help with whatever process you end up using over
time", my reaction would be "I don't think so". Why does someone need to
use additional software, when the OS already does what you want? BTW, the
same applies even for someone taking photos with just a mobile phone.

I also don't understand why are you using DVD's for backup, when a decent
Seagate external harddrive will do everything DVD's will do, plus more, and
is so cheap? You don't need additional software to do this, which is why I
am so surprised with your post.

OK, I'm curious, is there something logically impossible about owning a
5D and as a programmer being able to write something that helps with
archiving images?

Your posting might seem harsh to someone that has a clue what you're
about, but I'm just puzzled.



So, you are using a 5D. You are also a programmer who maybe able to
write
something that could help?

I really don't think so. I apologies if I am being harsh.
