13,306 photos.

Yes, it’s true.

I have 13,306 photos in my iPhotos program.

And today, I decided to spend a little time tagging them.

As you can imagine, it’s an overwhelming task. So I decided I’d tackle 75 or so at a sitting.

Every day.

At that rate, I’ll have tagged all the photos by Sunday, December 19, 2010. (Of course, I have to tag new photos as I load them. That’s the deal. Othewise, I’ll never make the end of the year!)

In 11 months and 7 days, Reed and Max will be bar mitzvah’d. If all the photos are tagged, I’ll be in a great position to create heart-wrenching, oh-so-cute slide shows in plenty of time. No digging through all the pix. I’d even have time to scan in some more. (Because, folks, I have boxes and boxes of photos that aren’t included in that 13,306. Go figure.)

I worry about getting distracted as I go through the tagging process.

Case in point…

You see my problem.

I’m typically a very focused person. But looking through pictures is so distracting!
