So the biggest problem I have with putting together a portfolio (other than the tedium of sifting through tens of thousands of images) is that I only know what shots I like. So many times in the past, I've had people tell me how much they loved shots of mine that I never really found to be all that exciting. Add to that the fact that I've seen my own images so many times that I'm practically numb to them all. Add to that the fact that a professional portfolio isn't necessarily a collection of your best work so much as your most marketable work (i.e., work that will find you a job), and it's easy to see why I've put off building my professional portfolio for so long.

But I can put it off no longer (not if I ever wanna break free of the shackles of cube-land), so I come to you, my fellow DPSers, for input. Do you have a professional portfolio? How did you edit it? Did you have help or did you pare it down yourself? If you had help, whose? Has your portfolio found you work? Has it helped you find an agent? Any and all advice/input/feedback would be more than welcome.
