Very interesting.  It's almost a diptych in one image.

Hi Larry,

There are a bunch of nice photos there, and there are a few that you
might want to remove from that collection if you consider it as a
portfolio.

However, I'd like to share some thoughts about the approach.
Which photos you want (or don't want) to include depends on the purpose
of the portfolio.
It is like with your resume (or CV): if you are applying for a job it
would be of one kind (and then it could be considerably different for
different jobs). If that is for introducing you at an event or for a
publication, - it would be very-very different.
The same with the portfolio. I can see a few possible reasons for that
portfolio:
1. To introduce who you are as a photographer.
2. To solicit photo jobs/assignments (then it would depend on what type
of work/genre you want).
3. To have it just as an exhibit of your work (like something you'd
exhibit at a gallery).
4. ... ?

Defining that would help people (and yourself) determining which photos
to keep.


The portfolio is an Itoya 13x19 art portfolio:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=Itoya+Art+Profolio+13x19&gclid=CJ28mtHn284CFU6BfgodPSAMPw&c3api=4680%2C111336988859%2Citoya+art+profolio+13x19%2Ce&InitialSearch=yes&N=0

I tend to keep in the trunk of my car to show off my work.  When I have 
something new that I really like, I try to remove the weakest photos and 
replace them with new and better stuff.  I also will often to let 
someone pick a print as a gift.  It seems to make people happy when I do 
that.


So, in short the goal of the portfolio is to show off the range of my 
work, and it tends to be a mixture of my best work and my most recent 
work.


If I were to do a show, it would probably be a subset of the images in it.




(Sorry, I won't be able to "vote" myself, as I do not have active FB
presence.)


It has been interesting to watch the "voting" process. The photos that I 
think are the best aren't necessarily the ones that get the most likes. 
 There are a few photos where the number of likes seems to be bumped up 
because the photo is of someone with a lot of friends, who may not even 
be looking at other photos in the album.






HTH,

Igor

If you have time and inclination to look through it, and vote with your
"likes" on the ones you think are worth showing off, that would be
awesome. The problem that I face is that I've looked at so many of these
photos so many times that I can no longer look at them objectively. For
that matter I can barely even "see" them as photos any more.
