One middle ground for professional photographers might be to persue a plan I 
started experimenting with and which I think Mia has said would work license 
wise...

Don't worry about people making money from your works, worry instead about 
being paid a fair amount for your work.

Release low res versions BY-SA, have hi res versions for sale (as copies) as 
ARR or BY-NC. And for licensing.

Set an amount if income for each picture where succesively higher res versions 
get released BY-SA.

(This would work better if BY-SA applied to collective works and not mere 
aggregations ala what the GPL says it does, but I should still be able to 
work under present conditions.)
