Lightroom collections

Imported all my existing photos into Lightroom and consolidated over ten years worth of files into one massive, easily backed-up, folder. With 10 000+ shots its getting more important to leverage the full functionality of the Library module. Meta-data filtering is fantastic and I am sketching on a keyword structure that will actually work (hopefully).

In the meantime I'm using Scott Kelbys method for using collections to quickly sort through events and "keeper" shots. Apart from the proposed structure, the most important lesson I took away from this were the keyboard shortcuts - those really cut away a lot of boring time.
