I keep virtually all my slides and certainly all my negatives - tossing very little -- Not just my packratness but to some extent even the lousy shots have info on them that can help in identifying the better shots... OF course, when I first got home from 60 rolls of film shooting across the country, I'd pretty much hate everything - even the ones I thought were "good" . And I never throw out dups of shots that I like. The slides stay in their little boxes numbered and dated in steel cabinets. The TX negs are in looseleaf binders with contacts, the prints from long trips are organized but alas must have a couple thousand of 4 x 5's that are disorganzied because I've changed how I organized. I'm a mess at this point... There is very little that I toss that I've acquired, photo or otherwise. :) (just as Amita or Cesar or Rob S who have seen the debris) annsan 67 today, yes today -- arrrggh
