RE: [Leica] Editing (was Theater Photography)

From an amateur's point of view, I find some treasures when I go back to a
contact sheet or negatives many years later. Some images have more impact
now than they did then (or maybe I see possibilities now)

	Tom,

	I think this may be a bad practice  You never know when in the
future you 
	may wish you had kept the neg.  

	A story a friend told me once when I used to work with UPI was about
a 
	pro football player (may have been a pro golf player during the
Masters 
	10-15 years ago????  I forget.) who was killed in a car wreck, or
some 
	such incident, after a game.  They had a shot of him during the
game, but 
	had tossed it as it was not a "Keeper"  and ended up digging through
the 
	trash until they found it and transmitted it dust and all.  He said
he 
	learned to keep every frame after that.
