At first I always hesitated about throwing a slide in the bin, but eventually it becomes cathartic and therapeutic to see the bin overflowing while the pile of good stuff remains small. You have to be ruthless with yourself. Now I'm happy to say that the bin overflows a little less, and the good pile gets a tiny bit higher. But I do also keep a few of the ones that got away. These are the most heartbreaking: unrepeateable shots that compositionally are perfect, in perfect light, with great subject matter, but they're out of focus a bit, or there's a tiny bit of camera shake. I can't even bear to think about some of them... --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Remember, you push the shutter, don't let the shutter push you" --Walker Evans - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
