Not as aesthetically pleasing as your usual photo, no. But infinitely informative on what you are seeing in the photo. Very useful. A lot of the time, a useful photo is much more practical than the proverbial 8x10 glossy. The latter is the ideal and fulfilled potential of what can be; but a useful photo keeps you grounded in reality which staves off disappointment.
