Project overview

Well, basically, this project lets you search for your images from a specified date and that contains specific tags (if taxonomy tags are enabled).  You can search the tags using AND or OR searches.

Reason for making this project

This project was primarily created for my computer at home.  Right now I have a ton of images setup in a “gallery” sort of manner (folders with sub-folders with more sub-folders).  It can be difficult to locate a specific image without knowing where it is located.  So, I decided to make this module.

Essentially, I am going to have 2 taxonomy vocabularies: People and Tags.  Every image will be tagged with the people in it along with other random “event” tags.  For example, I just went on a vacation in January.  I am going to tag the people who are in each photo, and I will tag “Vacation, Cruise, Caribbean” to the tags taxonomy.  The date automatically grabbed from the image EXIF data.

Conclusion

Ultimately, I wanted a module to allow me to search and index my photos based on the tags and date.  I am going to post it up under the projects page once I get my finishing touches done on it.
