25-35%??? You can't be that bad *{;-)

Seriously, what makes an image so bad that you would throw it 
away except out of focus or poor exposure? It is just beacuse it is 
not worthy of an exhibition entry?

I make no claims about the quality of my images, but I can honestly 
say that I mount and keep 95% of ALL the images I take. I do not 
keep any with serious flaws, but I do not throw one out just beacuse 
I have two similar shots, or because it lacks a strong center of 
interest, of because it would be of no interest to anyone but me. If 
nothing else I can use these images to guage my progress or use 
in demonstartions of what not to do, etc.

You have gone to all the trouble and expense to buy the film, travel 
to the spot, set it up, travel back home, take the film to the 
processor, and pay for the developing. What is another 10 cents for 
a mount and 30 seconds of your time?

If nothing else, send me all your rejects *{;-)
