You never know how it is going to go
I doubt if anyone has ever built or purchased an RV with the idea that it will be a great photography platform. I know I didn't. I built it for cross country speed and fun aerobatics. And the truth is that it is a pretty lousy photography platform.
The things is, over the years, I have been flying fewer and fewer cross country flights and more and more local scenic/photography flights. I generally don't have much of a plan. I will drive to the airport and fly the direction of something I am curious about or to an area I haven't been to in a while.
I enjoy this and get a kick out of it when other people like and want to share the photographs. In addition to the ordinary family and friends outlets quite a few photos taken from my little garage built plane have been published in scientific journals. Today, for a first, I was asked for permission to use one of the photos in a college textbook.
The RV isn't really the tool for the job, and I would still like to have something with a high wing and openable door/window for better quality but the RV works for pleasure photography and I do enjoy the fact that you get to the subject area in a hurry.

Larry,
I have a similar experience. A year ago I flew over Hudson River with a Drift camera mounted on my left wing tip. After the flight I uploaded the entire video ( http://youtu.be/Jk_vNHpBp74) on YouTube and post here. Two months ago I got an email from a Japanese TV production company asking permission to use a segment for their upcoming special program on the Miracle of Hudson. What a surprise. Now I am acknowledged on a Japanese TV program that I will never see .

No doubt a geology/geomorphology textbook with a section on karst?
Congratulations. You have a great eye for the intriguing and take some mighty nice photos!

Sustainability, oddly enough.
