This is especially true for weddings, portraits and events. You can't let them sit very long or the client will get upset. So I usually make a first pass through getting rid of any technically flawed photo. Then develop them. Then make another pass through removing anything else that strikes me as not worth showing. Then I have my wife make a pass through. After her culling, it is usually pretty reasonable for the client. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, October 6, 2008, 8:38:20 PM, you wrote: >> While it might be a good philosophy when trying to cull the gallery, >> it doesn't do much for the learning to improve your shooting.
