Do you delete your old photos?

[DanOstergren24]

I don't delete pretty much any of my photos. My culling process consists of rating, but not deleting. It's very rare that I delete photos. Storage is very cheap, and I have in many instances gone back to revisit old photo sessions to find photos that I love now, which didn't pass the culling (rating) process in the past.

If it sucks or has no meaning I will bin it.

I delete duplicates, bad ones, too-similar ones, and anything that I think will never be used. It's an ongoing process—I still have lots of them to go through. It's not an urgent thing, I just do it when I think about it.

yes, if I no longer want them

I flag in Lightroom with 3 stars those pictures I want to edit and make part of a slide show. Then I move on deleting nothing.

Not digital. I keep everything digital, including photos I apparently shot in the pitch dark.
But when I developed film, I ignored every negative under the enlarger that didn't seem worth the cost of printing.
It seems the cost of the media determines how much camera fodder we collect.
