Delete your old work to declutter your life

I have a problem. I am overly attached to my old work. Work that no longer serves a purpose, but I feel attached to somehow.

When I look at my hard drives, my cloud storage, etc — I feel like I am a digital hoarder. I hold onto too many images.

What is the problem in today’s world? The fact is that we are over-saturated with information. With bits and bytes, it is easy to have “unlimited storage” (whereas with physical storage, there tends to be a limit).

Lets start with a universal truth.

99% of the photos that I take, that you take or that any other photographer takes are junk that nobody will ever see, or ever want to see.

So in this article I am going to encourage you to trash everything except your best work – after hitting delete you’ll feel better, I promise.
