In Part 1 of trying to tame my photos, I tried to wrangle my horribly organized photo library. My organization skills were lacking, like many, when it comes to photos. We take them, we import them or save them and then we… forget about them. That’s a problem when I’m trying to handle large amounts of them (22.8 GB in 13,316 files) and organize them in ways that seem sensible. To use this we leverage the metadata tags that describe the date and time the photo was taken.

Photo Organization via PowerShell and Tags (Part 1)
No one could ever accuse me of being a shutterbug. I’m more of a casual photographer and much most of that was from mobile devices. But that’s not the be-all-end-all. I’ve also got scores of scans of old photographs, screenshots, and a bunch of other graphics that have accumulated over the years. Thankfully modern mobile devices tag photos with a plethora of information. Now it’s just a matter of getting to that information. These tags can help you organize your data so you don’t run into my problems.
