I know this is an expired post, but I just wanted to say that this is the primary reason I pretty much only post my photography now. In fact I consider it to be pretty brave these days to write a post like this one, @thecryptofiend, because as soon as people see how long it is, many of them likely immediately roll their eyes and move on. Photos are quick and easy to digest, though, and I've found that if I have a handful of daily projects, it gives me new content to post every day.
Yes it is sad.
