Correct!
Personally, I can think of nothing more tedious than tagging each photo with a keyword. Instead, I download my raw photos into a folder called something like ANDREW>> PHOTOS>> MAUI>>RAW FILES if I am lucky enough to have been to Maui. If not it will say ANDREW>>PHOTOS>>WYNNUM MANLY.
Then after looking at those 1,000 raw images in Bridge and finding maybe 20 keepers, I process them.
I save those into a folder like ANDREW>>PHOTOS>>MAUI>>PROCESSED PHOTOS.
I can always revisit the raw files but I really can't see myself sitting down and giving each a label like ; Lahaina : Luau: Sunset; Sunrise; Surfer; Meal; or any combination of that. The number of keepers that I get from every trip are usually so insignificant that labeling them is unnecessary.
