@uint8_t I take some shortcuts in service of a system that's more manageable to me:
* No hierarchy, just top-level folders to group similar photos (e.g. trips, events, photoshoots)
* ISO-8601 date prefix on folders
* Multi-day events just get grouped under one day, don't overthink it
* Catch-all month folders for misc photos
* Photos get uploaded from my phone to an "Inbox" on my Synology NAS automatically (graph counts items in the Inbox)
* Periodically sort things (graph go down??)

Out of curiosity, do you treat photos from your phone and photos from a real camera or real photo shoot differently?

Right now I have a organization system similar to yours for my DSLR photos, but all my phone photos go to Flickr in a gigantic unsorted pile. I hadn't really considered combining them, but the system you described here seems like it might work for both my kinds of photos.

  @aaronpk My photos are pretty much all family photos. At least in my case, it's appropriate to have one big pile.
