15 years, 1TB

After 15 years of making images from digital cameras, I'm finally reaching the 1 TB mark. It's kind of weird... I expected my total collection of files to be much more than 1 TB. Most of my peers have collections that are 4, 5, 6 or more TB.

Looking at the size of the folders (organized by year), it's interesting to see the increase in size. There is not necessarily an increase in number of images in each folder from year to year, but there's definitely an increase in size. And it's mostly due to the upgrade path of the cameras that I've owned.

I started with a 1.3 MP camera (shooting JPG), and now it's 22 MP shooting mostly raw images.
