Do you throw away ugly pictures?

So... I'm continuing my organizational process. Yesterday and today I've been trying to organize my pictures and put them in protected pages- rather than in a box. It's been going alright, but I have got a TON of ugly pictures. Now, I can appreciate ugliness as much as the next person, and don't plan on getting rid of ALL of my ugly pics, but do I really need 600 pictures of me just doing ugly stuff? What about pictures of random guys from EFY that were so awesome that you have pictures of and can't remember their names?

The cleaning bug in me is saying- "THROW THEM OUT! Are you seriously going to miss these pictures?" I don't think I will, but I'd love to hear any of you input about this. I know some people that tear up pictures all the time and others that refuse to. What do you do?

for what it's worth, i only throw out really poor quality photos--the rest i keep. look at it this way: some day, gracie might want to see what your first (or second or third) boyfriend looked like.

After I got married, I went through my photo albums and tossed all the pics of old boyfiends. I haven't kept in touch with any of them and didn't plan on it. I don't see the point of keeping them. Maybe it's just me. I think I'd be embarrassed if my old bfs kept pics of me after they were married. That just seems weird. What does Justin think?

I'm a minimalist, so I say throw them out! I throw away ugly pictures of myself and definitely ones of boys whose names I don't remember! If it were on a digital camera would you delete it or print it? There's my two cents! Happy organizing!

I would throw them out too! When I get into that cleaning mode, I just chuck em! I haven't missed any yet, I don't even remember they're gone!

Send them the way of your gum wrappers. You will not regret it. What you WILL regret is moving and then seeing a whole bunch of junk in your new house and thinking, "Why did I keep all of this crap?"
