I've seen so many exciting and cool places through inspecting (though I'll be perfectly happy to never see another shot of that blue-domed church in Santorini). As inspectors, we really do get to see everything and every place. Saint : Oh, you know there is no inspections without coffee. Goes without saying! Music too. But I did give up smoking tobacco a few years back. Dan : You are absolutely right.

You virtually travel around the world with the contributors and get to see the world through their eyes. People will shoot things in a way I never thought possible, it really has broadened my visual horizon. I love it! Inspecting is such a cool thing to do.

Inspecting isn't glamorous? heh... There's so much to inspecting images that I really, really LOVE. I've told a few other inspectors that my favorite part is that I get to see the entire world through the eyes of countless other people. One moment I'm looking at shots of an adventurer in the Amazon and in the next moment, I'm looking at the Smith's family vacation snapshots in the Grand Canyon. No matter the image, though, I've been giving the opportunity to take a peek at the world in the way someone else has seen it -- and that is totally priceless to me. What?

But it varies greatly, from a few seconds (it doesn't take long to spot direct flash, for instance) and up. Michael: That’s one of the things, I can’t give you specifics on.

How many pictures can you crunch through in an hour? Just out of curiosity and I guess this could be a secret but how long does the photographer have to impress you (or get the boot)?
