> How many? I don't know, I haven't counted them in a long time. But probably tens of thousands of photos curated into hundreds of albums across a few dozen separate iPhoto libraries. It's over 20 years worth of work. Even if I exported all the albums manually I would lose the captions. Also, I don't want my photos in the cloud. I want them only on media in my direct physical control because I want to retain my Fourth Amendment rights.
