You're attacking me because I simply turned the question around to the essentials:

The best camera gear does not a great photographer make.

You can play your tiny minded games and find the mundane photos I've posted here and there for whatever reason they are posted. There are some posted as well that have technical or artistic merit... occasionally both at the same time. I don't claim to be any better or worse than anyone else even if I shoot the same gear as some notable photographers as I certainly do not have their photographic skill or vision. That is a journey.

That is why when somebody asks what does <insert great photo here> shoot? I answer the way I do... because you cannot acquire somebody elses vision with MasterCard.



Tiny minded, should be hyphenated, tiny-minded. Did you mean somebody else's? "..." is an Ellipsis and is used to replace words that have been deleted from within a quoted passage.

The 2 last refuges of the loser in an NG argument is spelling/grammar, etc. (And I'm not sure you're right at that, but I won't belabour it.

The other refuge I won't mention.

<rest snipped, too busy>

But I do rest on the unalterable fact: photography is made by phtographers, not gear.
