I've never deleted a photo, one of my very early photos I edited and reloaded, but I noted that in my edited narrative.
On the other hand, there have been a few occasions over the last year or so that I was so close to deleting my gallery in it's entirety - but something inside wouldn't let me?? Don't know what it was or is, but there's just something about RR land that keeps us coming back, no matter what goes on here on in our personal life!
I like to look back at my earlier uploads - see the photos that, at the time I was soooooooo proud of and now, some of them really make me cringe at how bad they are and no doubt, in another year or so, I'll be feeling the same about the ones I upload now - but that's the trouble with photography, the more you learn, the more it can sometimes take the innocent fun out of it..... learning all the "rules" etc. Can ANY of you now look at a photo, anywhere, a magazine, wedding album, newspaper etc., etc., and NOT critique it?? I know I can't - and that is sometimes really frustrating - wouldn't it be nice to just go back to the days of being able to see something that really grabbed your interest, press the shutter and then go WOW, I like that - irrelevant of whether it's being composed correctly etc?
Anyway, for all of those reasons, my gallery is intact and will remain that way FOREVER!!!
Great topic though Bruce - an interesting read!
