I don't get this "purist" view on photography. Post processing will never make a shit photo good, but it can make a good photo great.

Absolutely. I know at least one person who thinks like this and I don't understand it. Photography has always been a two step process, with the lightroom edit or darkroom print the final step.
Amazes me the skill and time that went into darkroom work like Pablo Inirio did at Magnum.

I didn't say I never post-process my images, I just say I try not to... I think if you go out with the idea in your head that "I can take whatever, I'll just post-process it when I get home" you will have a lot harder time than if you go out with the intention of taking a good image first time.
But yeah, you're right, I should probably invest a bit more time in trying to learn some techniques. As I said already, though, I don't have very much time - and have I do a huge backlog of photos.
