A whole work of photography for a project is also quite time consuming. So your argument as to the effort expended is totally bogus. I'm sure it took far longer for Steve, Ted, Tina and others to complete photo projects and then edit the work, and then put together a book and get it published. Your 1/10 second argument is totally off base.
