Setting aside time to give each photo in your album a descriptive file name can be worthwhile if you ever need to find these photos again. It can also eliminate the need to manually give each photo a caption when printing, since there are various ways to print photos along with their file names. Having the file name as a caption also helps you remember which photos you already printed by using the printed copies as reference.
