This is a abook I wish I had found sometime around 1998 when I got my first digital camera. Five cameras--with ever larger flash cards--later I find myself in a quagmire of differently tagged images, varying naming conventions, multiple external hard drives, and (literally) thousands and thousands of images. Finding the one I want runs the gamut from very difficult & time-consuming to absolutely impossible. I know it's there, I just can't locate it. Knowing that this is all my fault certainly doesn't help matters.
This book organizes your thinking process and presents you with enough options (with the pro's and con's of each) that you're able to determine what system is realistically most likely to work with your personality, your level of discipline, and your photographic workflow.
The author, fortunately, has a good understanding about what is involved. He is aware--and makes you aware--that some type of consistent structure has to be established early on (the sooner, the better) and maintained going forward because the purpose of Asset Management is not to store but to be able to retrieve.
He covers almost all aspects of the process from capture to backup and explains the various software programs that can help you (Mac or PC, camera manufacturer, etc). He explains concepts that weren't even on the horizon when I started (such as metadata, RAW files, online file sharing, social networks, etc.). He demonstrates with screen shots and examples and explains in clear and unintimidating language.
Consistency, as a matter of fact, should be the subtitle of the book. He suggests, explains, and weighs many different options but makes it clear that the choice of system is yours: pick one and stick with it forever after.
Photographer Mike Hagen has taken a problem and confronted it well with his Thousands of Images, Now What: Painlessly Organize, Save, and Back Up Your Digital Photos. If you're a photographer his name may be familiar; for those who are unfamiliar with him, he is the Managing Director of the Nikonians Academy, and the driving force behind this highly successful organization that operates photo workshops and adventure trips all around the world. Mike is also the author of other photo books, and knows digital photography well.
You don't have to be a pro photographer to understand how perplexing and often frustrating exercise organizing digital images can be. All too often they are downloaded to the computer, only to get lost after a few are emailed, posted on Facebook, Flickr, Google or such online places. Yet this is not a new problem, as it's been going on since the early days of film photography, when photos were often put into shoeboxes to be sorted at a later date. And for many, things are not much different with digital photography.
With his new book, the author does a great job explaining Digital Asset Management (DAM), a method of efficiently organize, saving, and backing-up your digital photos into an intuitive filing system that will meet your needs, whether you use a Mac or a PC. The aim here is to generate a functional digital photo archive that will be easy to maintain and use. And without getting into a lot of technical jargon, author Hagen offers us a book that's easy to follow and understand.
