[LRFlex] Indexing Negatives (was statistics)

Er, well, it's about 3 rolls a week since start of the year. You beat me by far. 


Actually, I'm ahead of me, too. Typically, I shoot 100 to 130 rolls per year.

I know how many rolls I shoot, because I catalogue all my photos in a very simple manner...

Year - Roll - Frame. Each roll is put in an envelope with a able where I write the date, camera, and film tag number. I also have 5 or 6 lines where I write the basic content of the roll.

This makes it very easy to locate almost any roll. For instance, my Pine Siskin, currently the featured photo on my web site, is 04-57-11.

BTW: The film tag is that small numbered sticky label that the film labs put on the end of the roll to keep track of which film belongs to which envelope. By noting it on the label, I can easily return the negatives to the correct envelope when I order reprints, or find the proper home if they somehow get mixed up.

This answer has got me wondering... how do the rest of you catalogue your shots? Jumbled in a shoe box (like I used to do!) or a system more sophisticated than mine?
