It’s important to have access to your photos. Digital Asset Management, while a cumbersome, tongue-twister of a term, is incredibly important. I currently use Abode Photoshop Lightroom to manage my photos (digital assets) but have used other databases over the years. I loved using iView Media Pro before Microsoft bought them and turned the software into Expressions Media, a name that still makes me cringe. No matter. Lightroom does the job well, albeit with a few flaws that make my jaw clench from time-to-time.
