Just some random ramblings from my head

Digital Photography
Here's one that just trolling for some controversy ...
In the IEEE Spectrum, columnist Robert W. Lucky comments that "The trouble with digital photograpy begins with the mind-set that it's free, prompting us to take a multitude of thoughtless pictures ... and the few good pictures that should be left to posterity are lost in a glut of trivia."
What do you think? On the one hand, cheap and easy-to-use digital photos are great for capturing those candids ... but how do you sort out the good from the bad? How many of you delete the bad photos right away? How often do you just keep them all since hard-disk space is so cheap? Do you have any suggestions for indexing photos or otherwise selecting the "good" from the "bad"?
Enquiring minds want to know!!

Memory is not cheap for my camera. My biggest chip cost me $70. I delete junk pictures right away - and I take a lot of them. With my "good" camera - my old "analog" camera, I was always taking a bunch of fuzzy, out of focus shots. That's why digital is great for someone like me. I like to check them right away and decide "yay or nay" right there.
