Your Camera (Equipment) Does NOT Matter!

Does anyone really think that their signature would be materially “better” or different in some way if they signed with an el-cheapo ball point pen as against a 4 digit mont blanc?

Hmmm?

Or what if you were given a stick of crayola to sign with – would there be any real difference?

I don’t think so.

Why?

BECAUSE YOUR SIGNATURE IS YOURS – REGARDLESS OF THE WRITING INSTRUMENT!!!!!

This reminds me of a story I read on kenrockwell.com a while ago about a man who was involved in an accident and hurt his hands badly. While receiving treatment, he asked the the doctor if he’d be able to play the piano afterwards, to which the doctor replied in the affirmative. The man then responds with a grin and says, “that’s great! Because I never could play the piano before anyway!”

Cameras don’t make pictures – photographers do!

The truth is it’s a lot easier to buy a new piece of equipment than to learn how to really SEE and take great photographs.

That’s the same reason why the sales people overwhelm us with such nonsense stuff like mega pixels and ISO ratings. All those just DON’T count!

Like the great Ansel Adams was quoted to have said, “the most important piece of equipment in photography is the 12 inches of material behind the camera.”

‘Nuff said already!
