Digital photography has really changed everything for avid and armature photographers alike. We keep all of our digital photos on Grace’s Mac in iPhoto as the master library for storing and managing images. But today I noticed the photo library has really grown HUGE over the 4 years that I’ve owned digital cameras. We now have over 9000 images!!
This number is going to go up quite a bit now that I have access to a DSLR camera and continue to pack the memory card. Just for you geeks out there, 9000 images roughly translate to about 26GB in data storage. Amazingly, Grace’s Mac only shows signs of slow down when using certain iPhoto features. It’s quite a feat for a seven-year-old computer that still runs the latest Mac OSX without any hint of hiccups. But I look forward to a day when we can get her a newer machine so that she can just zip through those images like with the latest iPhoto ’08.
