10 hours later…

10 hours spread over three days and at last the year-end purge is over.  I started with ~4450 photos of varying subjects, quality and likeability from the year 2007.  In the end (at least for now) I am down to ~1700 that I wanted to keep for one reason or another.  Now to actually sort, rank and organize…  ugh. 20070111-dsc_6808.jpg This was the first picture of the year (first that was kept at least)…20071230-dsc_0043.jpg … And this was the last of 2007 that was inexplicably deemed worthy.
