    1. What is their viewing shelf life? Maybe a month or so, although I do have a couple of prints that I have in our home, which are my personal best.

    2. Do you shot for a wall hanging? Not particularly

    3. Shoot to document your children's growth? Yes

    4. Do you plan on selling them? Not necessarily

    5. What percentage of your images are deleted I probably cull at least 98% of my street images, depends on the situation, but I rarely outright delete images, unless they're truly just horrible.

    6. Do you go on photo destinations (events) When they're available, I'm there, precluding if I'm working.

    1. What is their viewing shelf life? Depends. Hobby or family? Hobby shots
    have a short viewing life, family shots have a wide distribution.

    2. Do you shot for a wall hanging? I used to frame and display shots on the wall of the room where I work, but I haven't updated them for a year or so.

    3. Shoot to document your children's growth? My grandchildren think I have
    three eyes; two normal eyes and a lens.

    4. Do you plan on selling them? No, but make an offer.

    5. What percentage of your images are deleted Most are deleted from
    the hard drive, but I burn disks of the RAW version of all but the totally unusable.
    You never know if a part of an image is salvageable.

    6. Do you go on photo destinations (events) Yes, if there's a crowd,
    there's an opportunity.
