Good suggestion, K Baron! Sometimes those ideas are overlooked. I was able to label childhood pics of my siblings that my older sister couldn't just because I looked at the missing teeth in their smiles! Also, color of carpet if a colored photo helps a lot too!
I'm glad someone revived this thread, because I forgot my photos were in here. Those are few of maybe 30 not-so-important images that I lost a file for. But still images I'd like to have.
