Abstracting Art: Pushing my Buttons!

So, an annoying thing happened the other day, and it is messing around with my photo organization! And if you know me, you know that although I am a slob compared to my family, I really like certain things to be organized… pretty much anything that has to do with my creativity needs to be exactly where I put it and in the order I want it to go. Not normal by any stretch of the imagination for an artist, I know, but everything else can pretty much be organized in a less strict manner.

Back to the point, a little over a week ago, on our vacation with Kim and Ryan to the Bergman Family’s amazing lake house, my camera had reached photo # DSCN9999. And a few things happened:

1 – It rolled over and started counting photos at 0001 again.

2 – I was a little shocked that I had actually reached over 10,000 (THOUSAND!) photos! SERIOUSLY!?!? Woah! I must take a lot of photos! *grin*

3 – It totally messed up my organization of my photos, since I ‘Sort’ all my photos by name. It was putting mid August photos in front of early August photos! How dare it! RAR :/

4 – This fluke in number change has now forced me to organize my file folder (Pictures> Baby Photos of Chase> 2009> 08-August) by ‘Date Taken.’ It feels SO WEIRD!

5 – All my videos have organized themselves at the ‘top’ of my folder since they do not capture a ‘Date Taken’ in their Properties.

It totally throws me for a loop every time I want to download more photos of Chase into 2009 August. Seriously, I can’t wait until September! And that is not JUST for Chase’s 1^st birthday, but because my photo folder can be organized correctly again! YAY!

Am I a nut case or what?!? If you think yes, I totally blame my labelmaker wielding mother ;)
