Ah photos. I happen to take photos as a large part of my job, although I'm not a professional photographer, but I have to remind myself that not everything in life is meant to be photographed like a crime scene. But still, I have 1000's of photos. I start by sorting them. Lately I just pick a time period, say a few months or a year if you don't have to many and put them in a album on iPHoto. I will go through once in a while and delete any duplicates, out of focus, or just plain bad pics. But if you love taking photos and take them of every event, like I do, there is no way you won't end up with 100's if not 1000's per year. Just try to keep them in a simple organization system, I find that's best to keep the stress low. I do any major trips as their own album, and just day to day photos per 6 months or year. I can find pictures fairly easily this way.
