I keep the pictures taken while working in the reportage genre separately from the general archive. I still can't figure out why this is happening. In general, I keep my photo archive quite strangely.
Usually, normal photographers create folders by date and by name and sort it all by year.
If I redo my entire archive in a different way, it will take weeks, if not months.
And besides, I'll need to get used to navigating it again.
I'm ready to do it on a duplicate hard drive.
That is, you will need a second hard drive of the same capacity, where all the same files will be sorted and arranged differently.
Then you will have to keep an archive there and there, but in different ways.
The scary thing is that with new technologies, the weight of images increases, and hard disk space runs out faster.
It would be ideal to create your own server with remote offline access to any of your photos.
I already have quite a few backups in various places, but they all require either internet access or direct access to the hard drive.
But technology does not stand still, someday there will be something that I dream of.
I remember writing my first ode to a smartphone six years ago...
Now it is possible to trace how technology has advanced during this time.
