I tend to keep every image (and scan of silver-based photos). I have automatically backed up hard-drives, and I try to briefly annotate images as I take them. The artistic worth of what I store is very low, but it's of interest to me, and occasionally to my family.
In my collection I do have a selfie* taken by my grandfather (when a teenager) of him, and my great-grandfather. The shot was taken in Salford, Lancs, UK. *The selfie was taken by my grandfather pulling a string, visible in the shot, which tripped the shutter on the tripod mounted camera. It's my only image of my great-grandfather.
Images like those are priceless. Since my grandson was born 9 yrs ago, I have documented his growth in about 5000 images, saved in triplicate in various places from usb drives in safe deposit boxes to several drives and cloud storage. Something for him to show his future family. All my other shots from decades past of things and places of interest only to me are probably never to be viewed by anyone but me. I'm afraid I may be approaching my own expiration date in the not so distant future and I often think what will become of the large amounts of images I have taken over the years. I would not burden anyone to store them until they were discarded. I suppose it doesn't matter once I quit breathing.
