Is the picture badly composed, is it out of focus, or has it no content. Out it goes.
Every few years I need to review my thousands of photographs and delete those I am never going to use again. There are hundreds each month alone for the Discovery Shop. Mostly, I delete those without a seconds thought. A terabyte of hard drive fills up rapidly even if you are paying attention to it. I have a backup, and that hard drive creeps toward full with appalling rapidity too.
It all comes down to bravery. Decisions. Should I save every picture ever taken of children or grandchildren? Every picture ever taken of George? I don’t need every landscape view, but a few are captivating and stay. Travel images. Some of those I keep to make a full picture.
Boy do I have a lot of pictures.
- Himself: We hit a couple of estate sales. The first one was wive number three’s things. The second was a rich cornucopia of goodies. He had fun docenting at a busy museum. Meeting. No new movies that we wanted to see.
- Herself: Sales first where I got a nice mini Degas dancer. Delete, delete, nap, meeting.
- Reading: ”Cyroburn.” It’s been so long since I read this that I don’t remember it. Well done.
- Balance: Nap. Today, “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
