That's one photo every thirty seconds, for two straight weeks, full-time.
What exactly were you shooting that required 10,000 images?  And how long
did it take you to sort through them to find the keepers?

What it _would have been_ in film and processing is irrelevant unless you
were actually shooting the same number of pictures on film before you went
digital.

Ten thousand images is a lot of CDs.
