Stash them in boxes? Frame them? Stash them in boxes? Give them to people? Sell them? Stash them in folders on your computer?
I took all my favorite photos and pinned them (not through the photo, mind you) to the wall in my study. Then I can see them all the time. Also, I like to take my more favorite photos and skectch them and then hang those on the wall or add them to my porfolio. However, I admit, a great number of my photos still end up in boxes and photo albums. What do you do? rg2 *PENTAX SAMURAI* ======= Well, to be truthful, most I consider lessons for further shooting -- not good enough to stand on there own. Also, I have limited wall space, so I only have about 15 frames up. Of course, some of those frames hold 4 6X4s, 2 5X7s, etc. You get the idea. I've never really counted the number of shots I have up and I am currently thinking about how to create more wall space. The rest I try to catalogue a bit, though I've only gotten only so far with that. It was easier when I had prints made from negative film. One place I went to actually printed a sort of color contact sheet. Well, the same size of the prints, like 4X6, but it was a handy dandy index. Since then I've indexed most of the slide rolls myself -- when I later switched to positive film (scanned and indexed). But I haven't organized my digital shots at all yet. That's the next project on my agenda, when I finish tons of non-photography related projects. Every now and then I like to browse through old shots -- see if I've improved or disimproved. Sometimes I think my novice fresh eye saw things as more fascinating than I do now. But I think I frame better now and take better shots overall. So, yeah, I hang the ones I like. I like looking at them. And visitors, naturally, HAVE to walk around and make comments. Well, they do start right next to the front door. ;-) Marnie aka Doe
