That was something I collected also, as a kid.
They’re all gone; with my baseball cards I suspect.
Why do we KEEP photographs
Following on from TheMadDruid's question earlier... Why do we keep boxes of slides, negatives, prints, and the digital equivalent. It's too complicated; I have some deep-seated need that I can't resolve when I think of deleting more than a few fuzzy image...
Why we collect photographs is a good follow-on point...
Is more better than less, and have we really lost what "goes away"... it's easy to do a quick deep dive. Delete one photo, throw away one item and it's the one thing you absolutely need tomorrow... one of the first things I learned in business is never ke...
I learned when doing my 1000 Whales in 1 Year project
Always have spare charged battery(ies) Always have spare empty formatted card (or 3) Always back up your data on at least 2 different devices Never look at your pictures while you are still on the ocean (whale will pop up then) I can also say that my prio...

As Casey said, don't keep things you can easily recreate
(and as a moderator, don't worry about things you can easily delete) ...
I have (coming up on) a century’s worth of prints.
Thousands. I can’t bring myself to throw any of them away. It would be throwing out history. At least that’s what goes through my mind every time I think it’s time.
My uncles about 85 and has a lifetime of negatives and prints
He has said anything about cleaning house ... He collects photo postcards and I think was nearing 70,000 last time we talked about it.
That was something I collected also, as a kid.
They’re all gone; with my baseball cards I suspect.
OK, in the last 2 days I have nuked about 5000 digital photos
not to mention all these: I scanned in 2018 and tossed the prints and negatives; now I am tossing the picture of the pile of prints. Yahoo! I am not a Prisoner, I'm a free man. Cazalea ...
