After a brief time away, I have got back to face tagging my photos in iPhoto. It is really addictive. Last night I had over 1700 pictures to tag and now I am down to around 750. It is such a monkey type of work that I was even doing it during two of my phone meetings today at work. It was very easy to listen to the conversations and click-click-click.

I am not done yet, but my wife is definitely leading the pack with the number of pictures in which she is tagged. She's at about 1350 right now. I am a close second with about 1100.

Some of the pictures are really difficult to tag because iPhoto doesn't find all of the faces. So our wedding photos in that small-ish room with a number of our friends and family was really difficult. Sometimes 10-15 people need to be tagged in one photo.

The cool thing is that it is already worth it. Going into the Faces view is really neat. Sliding over the my wife’s group from left to right shows a nice timeline view of what she looked like from 2001 to the present.
