Culling is a bear, and only prints really tell the story. I do all my stories and test prints on 5x7 Moab papers because once they’ve served their culling and sorting purpose I can mat them as marketable 8x10 table prints.
I think it’s better being generous in culling. No image not really satisfying must be enter in the selection. Processing and choosing among hundreds of photographs is always puzzling. Taking a good time for it is the best advice
I make small roughly 6x9” copies of the prints and tape them on a long wall in draft sequence. This shows me the linear sequence of the print narrative. For images where I can’t decide between prints a, b, or c, I place them in a vertical column within the horizontal sequence to help me decide between them.

Time and distance for absolutely sure makes a better final edit of an image selection.
