I will typically toss about 5-10% the first time that I look at them;generally exposure, focus, etc. problems. I usually keep the rest on file. As I print my images, the term "keeper" for me is probably best related to those I end up printing seriously. Shots of grandchildren, family events, documentation, have a higher print rate as it is the subject matter versus "art". Of the rest, I would guess that I print maybe 5%. I am a bit reluctant to dump things as I find that I have been able to go back after some time and see things that I didn't see earlier. I've also found that with new skills and/or software, I can get prints from older shots that I couldn't get quite right the first time around. This has been especially true with conversions to B&W and with B&W printing (newer/better printer and ink technology). Right now I'm looking through scans that I did some years ago because certain pictures still are stuck in my head and I couldn't get them to print right the first time around.
