Mike,

I group my D100 photos by creating a new folder for each photo session. This convention was begun with my Nikon View5 software with numbered folders, and I have continued these numerical names although the Nikon software no longer works.

Currently I am at my 170th folder with event photography from a Philadelphia Youth Orchestra concert, last Sunday. So the folder is called:

Img0170-PYO032104

The extra characters give me a clue to the subject of the photo session and the date, at a glance. The folders are as large as the number of photos I took during the session, and added modifications to those photos. I think the above folder has 552 photos. It is the second folder of the same day, as there was another event in the morning.

I hope this helps. If someone has a better method, let me know.

Garth
