Please don't stop.
Another vote in favour of Canard's photo updates.
I don't think they are excessively large, either. Some people have posted in the past directly off the camera, and those multi-MB photos are indeed heavy. Canard's photos are 300-400 KB which is not too bad (the average web page on the Internet is now over 2 MB!). Of course using a bit more JPEG compression could drop them down to 200 KB or so. But please don't limit to smaller dimensions, unless they are thumbnails and there is an easy way to see the full-size image.
Strongly agreed. Photos by him and by others are an important part of this, and allow me to see what is happening even when I can’t get out to the sites. I appreciate having the large photos too — when I’m really interested in something, I want to look at the photo closely and in detail to pick up non-obvious features.
