Let̢۪s say you have 20000 photographs taken since last 5 years, do you ever go and see what you took 4 or 5 years back? May be this would tell you the improvement in your photography skill, at least I feel the improvement.

What do you say?

Sometimes it pains me to see how bad they were back then...but with that logic, not much has changed. :)

If I had some from 17 years ago that I took, Id have been the worlds most talented 7 year old.

I constantly go back. I'm always looking for things to delete.

Yeah...I was going through doing this myself and was astounded at some of the crap I was hoarding. Once I went through and culled some shots it was nice to look at my development as a photographer especially over the last few months. Looking at the shots I took with my Canon A60 there's a lot of shots that would have been deleted immediately had I taken them today. I keep them to remind myself where I came from and also a lot of the old shots were of places I've been, events I've gone to etc rather than trying be especially creative.

I guess the reason I shoot has changed a lot. I really hate taking snap shot pics anymore. People ooh and aah over some of them but they aren't exactly my favorites.

I love looking through my old pics.. I delete NOTHING much to the annoyance of Mrs MAK ... I have a 160GB drive full of pics and another 120GB drive about 25% and filling..

It is always nice to remind ones self how crap one was.
