Cutting photos

So recently I've decided that I want to display my images on light boxes.  With this decision I had to quickly cut down my images to figure out how many boxes I need to make.  I started with over 150 images, cut down to 63, then 28, and today I cut it down to a total of 14.  Some of the images are just slightly different and I am having trouble deciding which ones to choose so I am not only going to reveal the project/idea to Pat but I am also going to have him help me pick.  Through this cutting down process I have come to realize that the images I am choosing are much more intimate and I have really done a 180 degree turn with what I was trying to convey through this idea of our relationship.  At first I wanted to do 3 separate views-one of him, one of me, and one of us.  That turned into 2 views-personal and others.  Now with the 14 images I realize it is much more sentimental and comfortable, mirroring our relationship exactly rather then me forcing it through 3 separate/specific views.  I am really happy with the images I have come down to; it's really us that I am showing and I'm not tired of it.
