However there is a vast majority on steemit who are pictorial bloggers and quite frankly they are being spanked for getting rewards over just “one picture”, whereas the rest of us bloggers take 2-3 hours to craft a post to get some rewards.

Every one earns rewards in different ways. There's something about the art of photography, that touches the soul.
Picture blogs are okay for me.

I agree with Steepshot being a great way to promote the Steem blockchain.
Anything to get the photo maniacs on steemit.
