Photos Organization

A lot of articles, videos, presentation and Blogs have been done. 
So Larry, why are you writing another?
Many has a lot of fluff and oftentimes it's and after thought. 

Even if you believe you have organized by date are the on a single storage unit, on several camera cards, Thumb drive or external/internal drives.

Basically you have a mess. Oops? 
How do I clean it up?First, purchase an external ssd drive. A 2 terabyte is a good start. Get 2 of them. 1 is your primary and the other one is your backup.

Create a folder. Give it a name such as "My Photos"

Now what? 
In date format consider YYYY->MM->DD
In Gatagoy you may choose CATEGORY and create subfolders for each. Perhaps ANIMAL, PEOPLE, TRAVEL, SPORTS, ...,

Either way now move you photos to your organization format.

Did you start using Lightroom Classic? Yes? Then ONLY move your images using LIGHTROOM CLASSIC LIBRARY module.

A non Lightroom Classic user can use the computers operations.
