It is amazing. But when it's something you do every day it's like any other job. I've been lucky to have a number of jobs where I didn't just do the same thing all day.

The pictures shown are a different process. Rotogravure, which printed all those brown photo sections in the newspapers from the 20's into probably the 60's. Lots of great sports content in some of those.
