Ask HN: How are you structuring your photo folder?

That is more or less exactly the way I structure it:

YEAR\yyyy-mm-dd - Event

I have always been a fan of some form of initial separation into subfolders so that the full list does not overwhelm me, so I made the year into a folder. Apart from that, I just dump the photos into the respective event folder and do not try to rename the individual photos or anything like that. I too would be interested in how other people arrange their photos. Maybe adding some symlink magic so one additionally browse by people, locations, events without adding a database?

I might add that my folder is symlinked in from a Synology DiskStation, so I DO have that additional database layer and can easily browse my pictures using their photo app as well, and that takes care of this for me...

Similar here, \yyyy-mm-dd_some-event\. I'll also use a variation like \yyyy-mm-08-11_some-event\ for days 8-11 for instance, like camping trips over weekends or much needed vacations. I tend to avoid spaces though.
