You've noticed that too? It's like I've fallen into The Wayback Machine

Juan and I have chatted briefly offline about this - at his instigation .
And in some ways the chat was kind of revelatory for me.
Those of us who participate regularly and have been involved here for a while can forget that not everyone sees forums like this as a current discussion resource.
If you aren't sorting your participation here using a "Recent Posts" filter, but instead looking for discussions on some of the more timeless issues, there is a lot of material available for your perusal.
The question of something like the "Art vs. Craft" question really isn't any more interesting because it is the subject of a new thread than if it is the subject of an old thread.
It is just a bit more awkward, when many of the earlier participants aren't around to contribute further.

 

[Sirius Glass]

Yes, the old discussions are still relevant and interesting and it is also fun to call them Zombie threads.

I don't think anything about photography is necessarily labor-intensive. Unless you are building sets.

That's what assistants are for.

A: marry into money
B: hire assistants to do all of the actual work, and marketing types to place it
C: move to a nice island and ck up on the galleries that you bought now and then

No need to go any further than A: marry into money
(Be careful if you are so lucky as to marry into money. All your time and effort may go into ensuring you stay married.)

My wife has drawn the line there.

Grown children? A big dog? An ATV?

Wasn't it Edward Weston who said, “anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn't photogenic.”
