Well, yeah. That's kind of a given.

I build my professional portfolio based on which images sell the best or have sold in the best in the past. If I shoot an event and 2 shots sell more than others, then they get added to the pile.

But what if you have a library of 33,000 photos and haven't really bothered selling any of them so you don't have "market value" to go on?
Judging by the first response being way broad and the second response being way specific, I probably didn't phrase my question properly, so lemme give more detail.
I've thought long and hard about where I want to go with my photography (professionally) and to get there, I'll need an agent. To get an agent, though, I'll need a solid portfolio. And not just a specific portfolio intended to land a specific job, but a more-or-less general portfolio that will showcase my talents. It'll be slightly tailored to the types of photography work I'd like to be getting, but it'll need to be general enough to show that I can handle most jobs thrown my way.
Thing is, I have over 33,000 photos in my library that I need to pare down to 60, and I don't quite know the best way to do it. When sorting through my photos, I've skipped past shots that other people later told me they loved, and I've loved photos and no one else really seemed to like. So either I need to refine my editing eye, or I need help. As such, I've come in search of any tips or advice on how to turn 30,000 photos into 60.
