Not _particularly_ time-sensitive, but _primarily_ time-sensitive.  If
you don't have time constraints, it's much, much harder to justify
digital photography.  The best photographs are still taken on film.

The fact that some professionals are more concerned with making a fast
buck than with producing the best possible images doesn't mean that they
are a model for others to follow.  And certainly amateur photographers
in particular need not sacrifice quality.

So?  None of these are my heroes.
