As digital photographers many of us create thousands of photos every year. Even if you are the world’s greatest photographer you have many files that should be deleted. There are several reason to delete photos, however, in the end it’s up to each of us to decide why we do not want a particular photo.

If you make this a standard practice to cull your photos in an honest way you will find:
* Your Standards will improve
* You are gathering less “virtual junk”
*You are using and by default showing your best photos
*You become a better photographer
*You are using less hard drive space
