How Many Photos?

Yesterday I decided that I should bring over copies of all my digital photos from my desktop to my laptop. Since we have a network at home, it was pretty easy to do. As I dragged my photo folder to the laptop desktop, it started counting how many items it was preparing to transfer.

Now, several years ago I started scanning many of my older photos, then many of my parents' and grandmothers' photos. And, of course, having had a digital camera since 2001....well, they add up. However, I didn't realize how many, and was surprised to see that I have around 17,000 photos! It took almost two hours to complete the copying.

Maybe I should look at some of those photos once in a while!
