As for a reason why you should keep them, well, no particular reason, but can you give me a reason why I should delete them if I've already sorted through them and seggregated the best ones (and have plenty of storage space)? :wink:
Sometimes the dupes are cool because they remind me of how hard it was to get a certain shot... Sometimes I keep them just because my eye was in the viewfinder for most of the event and it's the only way I'll get to see the subtleties. Sometimes I take a number of shots in a sequence, but when I choose one to print it will only be one out of the set.
For example: I have a great set from Xmas with a coworker opening his gift from me. The various expressions that his face goes through are priceless. If I were to choose one to print though, it would just be the final shot where he's holding up his present with a big smile.
The other shots are kept only so I can re-experience the situation in the future. Are they great shots? No. Am I keeping them to show other people? No. Will I be deleting them? Definitely not.
As far as future generations go, I hate to say it, but I'm really not shooting for them. I'm primarily shooting for me. I don't expect future generations to sort through 50 pictures of my cat, even if I've culled them down from 500. :lol:
