Ignoring for now the thousands of slides and negatives of those early times, I have tens of thousands of files lingering in Lightroom. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Ever since I started bird photography it has become worse, since the shooting rate has gone up exponentially and I shoot much faster than I cull my shots once back home.
I've been bad in the past in narrowing down my choice images, so it's one big jumble of rejects, so-so, good and great, with only a few that actually have been processed all the way (I do process the images I post on my blog, but that's about it).
Whenever I think about tackling this, I'm all over the place: one day I start with the images now years old, the other day I start with the newer ones. And that's just rating them, not actually processing them. It's not fun and it doesn't result in any satisfaction because it's just a drop in the bucket.
For those who have successfully dealt with this, what worked for you in terms of going through tens of thousands of images and narrowing them down to a portfolio in prints/files that you are happy with?
