I guess maybe I take an overly simple route in organizing mine, but
this is it. I have a folder on my desktop named "Photos." Inside
"Photos" I have one folder for each trip where I've taken photos,
named stuff like "RADP 12 Dec 2007", "LA/DLR April 2007", "Knoxville
Zoo Feb 2008" and so on. So each trip has it's own folder, which also
contains the month and year (since I have, say, 7 sets of WDW trip
photos, but they were all taken at different times). I also have a
"Random photos" folder where I put photos where I have taken just a
few photos at a time. "Random photos" is the only one that has folders
inside it, and they would be other smaller groups, like "Family", "My
car", "My collections" and so on. As for video, I don't have much of
it, so they all go into the "My Videos" folder, and have names similar
to the photos.
My only other tip would be to NEVER delete photos until you get home
and can see them full size. I can't tell you how many I have taken and
not liked, but found something unique or special about them once I got
them home and looked at them full size. You never know when there
might be something funny hidden in it that you didn't see before.
