I hope you have so many good photos that it is hard to cut it down to just ten.

You may want to pick a theme that gives your portfolio some coherence like family or nature or travel or cityscapes or a particular color. Pick a theme that resonates with your photographic interests. Pick the top 30 photos that match your theme, print them out, look them over, and then pick your top 10. Now show your top 30 to some friends and see which 10 they pick. Why not post your portfolio online? There are lots of free or inexpensive photo sharing sites on the interent where you can post your photos and share them with friends. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So what happens when the newspaper photographers at the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER each pick their ten best photos of the year?
