For many people this seems like a real chore but believe me, the time you invest thinking about how to label your images with descriptive adjectives as keywords will pay off in so many ways:
• Make finding specific images a real breeze. Save time!
• Make your images easier to find online, from within a vast database of photographs. So if you intend to submit images to a stock photo agency or online photo storage sites like Flickr take time to describe your work in a word or phrase.
• By putting focused thought into describing your work with keywords you will learn how to more easily describe to others what your work 'is about'. It's like never having your work critiqued. If you are never compelled to think about what it is you do while consciously making pictures then all you're actually doing is taking pictures. There is no difference between your work and the pix every ninny with a cellphone shoots to post online!
