I have 10,741 in 2011.
And in 2010 I have 17,499
That's 48 shots a day. Two rolls if it was film
A little more than half a gig.
In Bridge. 
Which cant really be trusted it could be hiding some from me for no good
reason at all.

In my  Total Nikon captures folder since 2002 when I started digital I have
52,167 images. Most NEF but a few hundred .psd or .jpg.
I have 5,029 five star pix so that's one out of a hundred solid keepers I
could call them. Things I'd think hard about printing. Then hopefull print
them.
The digital era for me has been a huge boom the 9 years before I went
digital if I showed you those contact sheets and prints the effect would be
a fraction of what I'm doing now. In terms of the 5000 what seems to be
reall good shots it would have been I'm sure 500 instead. But that's doing
ok. 50 solid keepers in a year!?! That was ok with me for most my life.
