I respectfully have a beef with digital photography..

[Michael Fanelli]

The only time I would think this would be relevant is in a photojournalistic enviroment. And not that a bad photo would get better, but that a useless photo would become useful. For example, the photo of Clinton and Monica taken at an event before their relationship was public knowledge. Digital photog may have just seen the president hugging an intern, nothing special, and deleted it. Little while later, when the sh!t hit the fan, that photo may have been useful.

Does that mean that all photojournalists keep all shots, film or digital, ever taken "just in case"? For every Monica there thousands and thousands of just plain garbage. Only a true pack rat could cope with all those frames!

No, that's not what I meant. I was refering to the post you originally quoted about shooting and deleting. When I replyed to the post, it only quoted your response, not the original post that you had quoted.
