I've been wrestling with image naming on and off over the years...and the images keep piling up! I like your most recent solution and will start implementing it.

I also organize my pictures into monthly folders and then into yearly folders but now I need a better system for naming my pictures. Originally I was just remaning everything in a folder to say the same thing for that specific occasion and then they would be assigned 1, 2, 3 after the name of the file. I think that will still be sufficient for now. I haven't decided if I will go the extra mile and put in the year and month. It definitely could't hurt and wouldn't really require that much effort considering I would be renaming them anyways. My biggest concern is like you said, knowing in future years when it was taken and who is in it. That is where my scrapbooks come in. Instead of naming everyone in the picture in its file, I am hoping to scrapbook my important pictures over the years where my journaling will tell all who was in those pics. This is my hope. Hopefully this will be sufficient! Thanks for you thoughts on this subject.
