Hi peter,
This is truer than many think.  Recently while we re-organize and edit some 
of the old shoot files .... like some from 40 years ago ;-) I've found 
negs-contact sheets with frames that were never printed only to be 
pleasantly surprised how they were 40 years ago and never printed. A couple 
anyway. ;-)

So sometimes as you say, we should do first edit, then let the stuff sit for 
awhile before completely discarding the negs. Then return for another look 
on a different day in a different mood with sharper eyes. One does get 
surprised as in... "How did I ever miss this?"

Makes a scary point about digital when one does a first cut edit and 
"DELETES" a bunch never to have them to go back to another day ....... or 
year! :-)

That's why in some cases "film is forever!" You always have negs. ;-)
