Problem at work...

For what its worth, I'm not employed at the moment, and desperately looking for a job. Hence, I won't be discussing about a problem at work, or anything related to HR. For the moment, my biggest problem is actually organizing my thousands of photographs that I've clicked over the past few years.

More specifically, every once in a while, I'm trying to look for certain photographs -- say having me and my dad with Eiffel tower in the background. I understand I can tag photographs today, but I feel they still lack the semantic search capability, and do a more syntactic search -- pretty much like google, that searches web pages with the keywords in them. What I need is a bunch of photos, ranked appropriately, depending how clear the Eiffel tower is, and whether there are others along with me and my dad.

I'm not a CS major, so I have no idea how hard this problem is -- but given the fact that none of the major service providers (or software) exist today that solve the problem nicely, I'm assuming its not an easy one to solve.

Furthermore, it would be great if my videos could be searched -- but I'll leave that for some other time :)
