As an amateur picture taker who drifted in and out of the hobby several times, and having to meet no quality standard other than my own, I now have about 1000 slides and about the same number of negatives I took in my younger years. Some of them are really poor quality and I wonder why I didn't just throw them out at the time. Now I'm glad I didn't. Post processing software incorporating AI and other technology is enabling us to salvage some, even most, of those old photos and of course some of the less than marginal digital images.

My suggestion to the younger members of the UHH community is save everything. Storage is cheap. Get a 4 TB external hard drive save all your culls by year. When you fill it up get another. A lot of the culls you save will be snap shot quality, slightly out of focus or something but when you get to my age and are sitting around with your cronies, kids/grandkids you will remember something that happened in 2019 that you vaguely remember taking a picture of. You will not believe how many times I have gone through most of those slides to find one from 1960 and if you think you have that 2019 picture you will too. At least you won't have to look at individual slides and negs.
