Editing is hard. Self-editing is harder. Well, for me anyway.
With digital it helps to edit ruthlessly and as soon as possible. Deleting from the camera is quicker and leaves less time to second-guess later.
Even so, i have tons of images on computer it would take a long time to properly tag, edit and cull. And so I haven't. And so no one sees them.
A couple years ago I loaded some Sensia into my Elan II. I chose my subjects with some thought, my compositions with even more thought and available light too. Despite very little experience shooting transparencies, all images turned out well and so did the content.
Of course, most things I used to shoot with film back in the day didn't turn out that well. And so I haven't repeated the exercise for fear of jinxing it!
