I like it - but there is no way I could bring myself to throw any away.

| This would, of course, not work for those of us who do not manage to shoot
| an entire film on a single day. But the system can be adjusted for that.
|
| I too have been thinking of developing a system, and my first take would
be
| something like this:
|
| - shoot slides,
| - when a new film is picked up from the developer:
| - throw away all that are not at least very good,
| - record a running number on each "keeper". Let the numbers run
| continuously, regarless of topic/subject/occasion. Continue
increasing
| the running numbers with the next film that you get developed.
| - file the keepers in transparent slide pages.
| - for each "keeper" enter all vital info in a computer database.
|
| Things that might go in the DB are: slide number, image category or
| categories, date, film, lens, exposure info, etc. The lens and film will
| be identified only by a single number that is a key in a table dedicated
to
| films and another one to lens details.
|
| In this way I can easily find out all images shot with lens #8 or on film
| type #3. I can also get more fancy and find all images that were shot on
a
| particular date with a given lens but not with film type #3, etc.
|
| If I need to take these images out of their storage, I will have to pull
| images from various slide filing sheets, and will then need to file them
| back in. Both of these operations are not a problem because the slides a
| numbered sequentially, and I know that there are 20 slides on a page.
|
| What do you all think?
|
| Cheers,
| Boz
