I read that post.  The point is the same in all creative endeavour: 
it's much more fun creating things with your own hands rather than 
taking them for granted, as in photographing them.

Besides, I can see some practical uses, perhaps not for beautiful 
ladies, but for realistic creatures you can't simply bring the camera. 
Gollum?  Davy Jones?  Sandman?  How about bringing John Wayne or Marilyn 
Monroe back from the grave?  Ok, so that perhaps should be work for a 
double... :P
