I store all my photos in my Aperture library on an external drive specifically for them. Keeps everything handy regardless of whether I'm at home or on the road. You never know when you need to give a copy to a relative, etc. I use Aperture's vaults to back up everything to 2 other external drives, just to be sure I have a copy of everything. I don't delete photos, generally. I just "reject" them. I'm sure one day I'll want to clean out the rejections but for now, I just don't have to see them. Completely different workflow from turtle's but Aperture handles it just as smoothly.
