Congrats on the ten years! I really wish I had found this place sooner, though only for purely financial reasons. All the other intrinsic benefits have come to me via the community in time. I know it's not what you are talking about here, but I've always been interested in the style of photography where you either take photos of models and make it look real or take perspective photos of real things so that they look like dioramas. Never enough to actually try it, but it's a cool methodology to me.
