keywords vs file names for Michael

Michael,

I refer you to the LLVJ #12. In it, you expressed a method of organizing images by using (voluminous) file names and folder structures and searching by using the OS.

Now, with Lightroom (even Bridge) having easy access to adding keywords (as in your Lightroom beta Tutorial DVD), have you reconsidered your approach to image file organization and retrieval?

Using file names seems unwieldly to me. But, on the opther hand, I have been burned on several occasions using keywords and a database - like Elements. If that DB gets hosed...

So what say you, please?

Rick

ps Any more comments about DNG as storage/archival format?
