Too many projects, too little time

In my digital photography workflow, I often need to use a shell in a directory fairly deep from the home dir. For example, I am at ~/Pictures/photography/portfolios/priti/2009-05-30-sf in the finder and want to cd to this folder at once. Found out two delightful options from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/420456/open-terminal-here-in-mac-os-finder

1. Copy an item from the finder using command-c, jump into the Terminal, type ‘cd ‘ and simply paste with command-v

2. cdto

The second option is working out perfectly for me.
