1. Pure chaos. Saved among personal pictures. No order. Only the images I’m posting.

   I have a folder for Beagles.

2. I do c+p to word doc, minimise then place prompt underneath.
   I also keep the original in named folders e.g. portraits, landscapes. These folders have categories such as male, female, child, group portraits. Another example are landscapes with buildings, landscapes with mountains. It takes a lot of work but worth it.

3. This may be the best question of all time.

4. I’m always downloading every image i’m doing, in a folder, then i’ve created some folders to keep the track of the pictures i’ve uploaded in some groups, in order to avoid double posting, made a copy of the main folder in a second hard drive, and sometimes backing this folder on a usb key, to be sure i won’t lose everything in case of a sytem failure.

5. A folder for each day. I also rename image files to hint of a topic or style. For each week there’s also a “Selected” folder, with images I particularly like.

6. Oh geeze I am fanatical about organizing and backing up my stuff, always have been. Well, since going through a half dozen mechanical hard drives back in the day. For me it’s windows folders first, organized by type of media, then by year, then sometimes by the application used. Then organized by theme, alphabetically.

   ftp’d to my unlimited space @ IONOS, working files for all music/images also to my Google drive. Then there is One drive, thumb drives, external hard drives. Yahoo mail/Google Mail/Hotmail/That place that to this day is keeping all my files hostage, Oh, yeah Mega.

   EDIT: OH cd’s, dvd’s, floppy discs 3.5, 5, 7″, some old Atari ST floppy’s with some of my first music. Oh, and master tapes. Cassette tapes of me and live masters that would store on a cassette and could only be played through that Fostex 4 track or similar console.

   And I can’t find a damn thing when I need it! lol

7. Everything is in folders but only on my phone. It’s becoming a problem because even though everything is stored in the cloud, and sizes are reduced on my phone, it’s 180 some thousand pictures. I’ll eventually put them on a separate hard drive. Hopefully I’ll do that before some catastrophic failure.

   When I see a Facebook post that I want to comment on with a picture, by the time I can find a picture it’s always too late, and I have trouble finding it again. I’m learning to save those posts now and be able to revert to them. So the only answer I have won’t help you. Mine is random and disorganized, and based on folders from the day I made them, or with the title of basically what they are.

   I do not have a folder for beagles, and I probably duplicate things a lot, which is why I’ve limited myself to only a few groups, 

8. A folder for main topic, like “Animals” and then subfolders for type of animals and I have 1 folder with about 30,000 images in it called “To Sort”. Before I sort a bunch I made in the last few months I save them by date and add what most of the images are in that folder…ie. 6-19-24-Flowers

9. After reviewing these answers, there are some great ideas and somewhere in the middle is probably ideal. I’m super disorganized my wife is just the opposite. I find that if I go sub folder, sub folder, sub folder, sub folder, I can never find it. I tend to use keywords and I try to keep a screenshot of those prompts with a keyword in it so I can get to it from a photo search on my phone. If I had a good answer, I’d bottle that and sell it.

   In the beginning, I categorized every piece in Bing, but that became time-consuming and redundant.

   I just want to keep makin stuff. I’ll never be able to make the time to organize it properly. Ironically, if I’d organize it once, develop a consistent strategy, i’d probably have a whole lot more time to create. contact sheet for today. thank you Sebastian Frey. Also: “contact sheets” could be a good prompt.

10. I take a screenshot of each creation with the prompt I use, then load it to my Flickr account under a private folder called “my prompts used.” then load the creations I like under folders eg, Portraits, landscapes, weird etc. That way I can add to groups that I like. Hope that makes sense.https://www.flickr.com/photos/dreamscopephotography/albums
