(Edit: For people who are trying to correct me on when Armistice day is, THERE IS A REASON AS OUTLINED BELOW)

> Taken exactly at century ago at 1:52pm on Thursday, November 7th, 1918, America prematurely celebrated the end of World War I, four days before the formal declaration of Armistice. Why? Because of a lunchtime conversation between Roy Howard of the United Press and Admiral Henry Wilson of the US Navy, passing on that an armistice treaty had been signed, according to a contact of Wilson’s at the American Embassy. News spread quickly, and soon traders on Wall Street celebrated along with the rest of New York, throwing their ticker tape from every available window onto the streets below. Armistice was formally declared on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, with the United Press receiving scorn from the New York Times for reporting the news prematurely without confirmation.

Special thanks to /u/jecinci for hiding his post so this one could go up, as it was taken exactly a century ago today!
Before getting into photography, my background was corporate IT (with a heavy emphasis on asset management, disaster preparedness & recovery).
First, I strongly recommend getting a copy of The DAM Book for Photographers. The latest edition is from 2009 so some of the software references are probably dated, but the concepts aren't bound to using any specific software.
Next - based on the content of the DAM book, I really recommend creating a folder structure for organizing your projects that don't rely heavily on software. (Cataloging software is great, and I love it, but you want a system that's scalable so that you can move to different software in the future if you want, and that's easy enough to stick to that you're not dead in the water if your catalog dies)
Unlike many photographers, the approach I use relies on assigning a serial number to each project rather than by date. This is not a new idea, and not mine by a long shot. But essentially, all of your files have metadata in them. If you want to organize by date, just sort the files by date.
By assigning a serial number to each project you're able to:
Each project gets a folder like so: [Serial Number]-[Project Description] such as:
00001-Project 1
00002-Client headshots
00003-Home Depot Campaign - Spring
Each image file has the project number, and then a frame number like so:
00001-0001.cr2
My RAW processing workflow is all in Capture One Pro, which lines up well with this project folder idea since that's basically a session - but it's easy to integrate this into Lightroom or ACDsee or Bridge et.
Once your structure is in place, then just pick a catalog system to index the directories as you add them for new shoots/projects and you're all set to go.
I really like NeoFinder (AbeMedia if you're a Windows user) since it's literally designed to index multiple hard drives, DVDs, and network drives to be searched offline... but if you stick to this folder structure then it doesn't matter what application you're using.

There's also a book called Tar Heel Ghosts that I think has many of the same stories.
Here are a few you might like... I have both and absolutely love looking at them.
Book 1
Book 2
The Dyckman house is cool. You should go there. It’s been there forever. images of America did a book on Washington Heights and it’s included in that book along with other things that are still around. It’s kinda eerie to see streets that are almost empty compared to today.
Alexander Hamilton’s house is in Harlem. Technically not WH but close enough.
Fort Tryon is awesome to visit. Every year they do The renaissance fair (it’s free too). Close by is Inwood hill park.
You can take the trail starting from 125 st on the west side and end up in Dyckman. That’ll take you to the red light house along the way. It’s a nice trail. You can even go all the way downtown. There’s also a new pedestrian bridge around 157th.
Back in the old day, the Bronx used to provide water to New York City through a water bridge. They recently reopened the bridge and you can walk it to the Bronx and back. Not really much to do there except walk it, read the history located on the ground. It’s on Amsterdam but I can’t remember the street. Don’t go there when it’s cold because you’ll regret it.
If you have a dog, there’s a cool coffee shop where you can take your dog and hang out called Cafe Bark on 181st street towards the west side. Pretty awesome. We take our pupper there to socialize with other dogs. Dogs can roam around and sit on furniture. It’s really cool. You can also go down a little further to take the trail towards the red lighthouse if you want.
As for food, go on YouTube and search Washington Heights and you’ll see all sorts of videos on restaurants.
Let me know if this helps. I’m down for meetups too if anyone want to organize it.
I picked up this book as a coffee table book after I moved here. Lots of great old photos with explanations, to include some of the regrade.

It's a book on digital asset management.

You should ask Micheal Hibblen at KUAR radio. He literally wrote the book on Rock Island in LR.
