When I transitioned to the mac, close to 3000 of my just over 4000 photos did not transition very well. In other words, they didn't bring the date information over, resulting in an iPhoto file of mismatched mismash. For someone like me, this meant a lot of anxiety.
I am pleased to report, however, that I have finished this ardous task and have my photos properly organized and now I will be able to make photobooks and albums with much greater ease than before. Plus, my archive is now accurate, plain and simple. Here's the breakdown:
For 2004 I have 1,365 photos
For 2005 I have 1,400 photos
For 2006 I have 1,489 photos
I have 15 photos I can't seem to figure out where they go.
I probably shouldn't have taken on the task of dating the pic during the same month as NaBloPoMo, but I did and the former suffered. But I know have a huge weight off my shoulders (and crimp in my back). I also came across one of my top ten favorite pictures of all time...
This process has been at the same time tedious and reflective...allowing me to walk back through the past couple of years and again experience the joy and heartache that occured. Thankfully, there has been more good than bad. More thankfully, I have documented this time and can refer back to it whenever I so desire.

I know exactly what you mean!!! And I applaud you b/c guess what? I didn't sort mine or back them up and when my harddrive crashed they went bye bye - all my europe pics, bella puppy pics, well, like 5 years' worth.
So good job -especially using a new platform. Tough stuff girl!!!
By the way, I'm back and want to play next weekend if possible! :-)
Good for you! I know it was a major pain but you persevered.
