Categorizing your Galleries

PhotoJourno · 28th of July 2010 (Wed)

Went through 113,000 images in the last few days.
Narrowed it down to about 610, that have potential (2-3 stars, and a few 4 star pics).
Of those, I envision no more than 6-8 galleries with maybe 10-12 pics each? (To feature as my website Gallery/Portfolio).

What I am struggling with at this point, is actually labeling them into a specific category.

Say SPORTS. Easy, I got about 50 really good photos for that.
PORTRAITS? Sure, that too.
But what about some photos I took during theater performances?
Well, they should go under PERFORMERS, perhaps.
But what about my Music Performances photos?...

See the confusion and mayhem inside my mind? I am completely lost.

A really nice high res photo of the moon, is that an abstract? Or is it a landscape? I don't have enough night shots to call it NightScapes

If you could share with me some of your logic on being able to decypher some of these seemingly impossible riddles, please do share

Have the same image in as many categories as it conforms to.

Use tags, that way they can be multiple things. Then make "smart" galleries when you need to pull in all your "theatre" and "night" and "women" photos together... etc...
