I go into local coffee shops and small galleries to see what is on display, and way to often the best title I can come up with for a photographer's choice of images is "My ten best." They might be ten really good images, but something about them appearing to just be randomly put together kind of turns me off.Then on the other hand, I know well about undershooting beofre having to pick 10 themed images for a series. Exactly what you said, a few good ones, and a bunch of OK images to fill the space.Most of what is in my head for themes are one that I can contribute to year after year of shooting. Edit out the weak ones and keep adding the best so that it grows. None are really anything that I can only shoot over the course of a two month period and never be able to go back to it.Glad to hear <a href="http://www.kpraslowicz.com/2009/04/11/the-secret-to-loading-35mm-film-for-development/" rel="nofollow">my film loading tip</a> worked out for you.

Series made for the purpose of making a series of photographs, often just results in a 2-3 good images and 10 not so good or even bad ones.Your method of rolling film on the developing reel was successful, thanks for the tip.
