How do you cull out 100 images from more than 1100?

Professor Jay talks about the difficulties of editing his vast collection of informal portraits taken over a career of more than 35 years, and the criteria he developed to help with his decisions. One of America's foremost and most prolific photographic critics says a lot in an interview with Anthony Mournian of approximately eight minutes. The interview took place September 1, 2006 in Ocean Beach, California.
