No reading needed except for this little part:


"Naturally, Mr. Burnett found his new look in the closet. He hasn't gotten rid of a camera since 1978 (when he traded in all his Nikons for Canon gear) and he has around 50 cameras and 50 lenses at his home near Washington."


Seriously though he hit the nail on the head with this:

"Ultimately, the technology is just a tool," he said. "It's a tool that lets your eye become the picture. It's easy to get caught up with all of the gadgets and all of the technology, but the most important thing is just to get comfortable with the tools you have."

Andy-

Thanks for that link, I enjoyed it! Here at the "rank amateur" level, it's really easy to caught up in thinking you have to have the same equipment as "the pros" and get "The Shot" just like they did, when really what you need to do is take a step back, develop your own style, and shoot what they're not shooting. Articles like this remind me of that.

By the way, to everyone else, I don't know why there is such reluctance to register at web sites that provide high-quality content. I registered at nytimes.com years ago, I think they may have sent me a grand total of one or two "spammy" e-mails since then, and believe it or not, they were for things I was actually interested in!
