This is a collection of pieces of advice to make your everyday photos more enjoyable to look at; a little more with every post. These are only bits which do not claim to be complete, but are rather all you need to know at that moment.


I assume my readers are non-professionals who are interested in capturing their memories in the way they have experienced them, instead of how their camera device automatically suggests an output, thereby speaking of using anything from a mobile phone to an auto-set DSLR.

Anonymous asked: Hi my digital photo collection is building up on my hard drive but I don't feel like I have good file structuring, or photo management software for photo playback. Do you have any suggestions about organising photos so they are easily accessible with and without the use of software? Thanks.

I recommend iView (I heard it is now called Expression Media) as a program to handle the files, rename and catalog them. It does not create large libraries, only metadata catalogs that don’t mess with the originals.

Please read this post for additional info on file renaming etc.
