Your Camera Doesn’t Matter

Alot of people see my gear and assume that I must take great pictures since it looks so expensive.  I wished it were that easy.  If I’ve learned anything over the past few years of doing more serious photography - gear matters little.  Yeah - my wife would tell you I’ve spent a small fortune on it, but the truth is that some of my best photographs were taken with simple point & shoots or were scans from old 35mm prints.  Think about it - some of the best photos ever taken in history were done with what would be considered ancient gear by today’s standards.

So here’s a link to a site that I frequent often - Ken Rockwell.  He’s entertaining and if you read enough on the net - you’ll find folks that swear by him and others who believe he’s a rank amateur.  I tend to fall somewhere more to the fan side.  I don’t take everything he says as gospel and realize his whole site is his opinion.  That being said - he challenges the status quo on thinking about what constitutes great pictures and for the average joe on the street - offers some great advice.

So without further adue - here’s a link to the article that causes me to really think about what I buy and why - Why Your Camera Doesn’t Matter.
