That is right Bob, straight, level and boring make the best platform for aerial photography. People click on goofle Earth and just "expect" to see high quality current imagery. They forget how much back end work goes into collecting, processing and preparing those images.

A couple of my Geo Tech classmates have gone to work in that industry. Hard work and many idled hours in airports between meetings, conferences and trade shows. But they've done well enough.
