Photo Organization/Workflow

Introduction

I have been doing a lot of thinking about how to manage my photo library. I am sitting here with over 20,000 pictures our family has gathered over the years.. Also I recently heard a story while listenting to the Mac Power Users #171

My workflow if broken down in the following groupings:

* Capture/Intake:
    - Here i will primarily use my iphone or other camera like devices.. to simply capture the pics.
* Gather:
    1. I will either use Dropbox or FileTransporter to move the pictures from my devices to "landing zone" (MacBook Pro)
    2. Create a Hazel Rule that makes sure that all the images on in one area and perhaps even rename them based on some EXIF metadata.
* Process:
* Backup:
    - Local and Online and a couple more just to be safe.
    - I am looking at configuring my macs to check the dropbox folder where pictures are and make this my landing zone.
