This was a really fun read bro! So good. I'm terrible about deleting stuff, and I need to get better at holding onto it. Like you said, storage has never been more accessible, so there's really no excuse! Hope you're doing well!

Thanks man. I appreciate you taking the time to read it. Yeah, I think this can apply to any medium really. I think distancing yourself from ideas, even if they aren't complete or fully fleshed out can bring some new life to them after weeks or months. Yeah man, I'm really really good these days. Hope you're doing good also.

I think not deleting any photos ultimately makes your entire experiential photo experience more cumbersome.

I’m all for deleting the 23 other shots of the place in that exact spot and angle. Duplicate shots have got to go. The occasional photos where eyes are closed or some other element in the photo looks off, I’m all for deleting.

Also keeping all the photos, particularly raw photos isn’t just about the storage, it’s about the computer you are reading the photos on, the photo management application you are using for those raw photos as well.

Anyways, I’m not sure if I’m completely agreeing with you but also not disagreeing with you completely.
