I spent a lot of time last weekend organizing my digital files, they were all over the place (old computer, external hard drive, multiple memory cards, iphoto, Lightroom, etc). I love the develop panel in Lightroom but the library and general interface takes getting used too, especially when you are used to iphoto. I decided to keep my "fun" pictures in iphoto, particularly because iphoto has the Faces tool, which in a creepy way identifies people in your photos after you tag a few. Its a really easy way to find photos if you don't have them organized in albums. I'll use Lightroom for all other photos (i.e., those taken with my DSLR). I'll see how this works - a lot of advice out there says to keep everything in one place but I don't think I'll ever have the need to edit St Patty's day bar crawl pictures in sophisticated photo software.
I found this old photo when I was going through the process of setting ratings and key words in Lightroom. The composition isn't the best but I love the colors in the water.
