Size of the boat or motion of the ocean

Hello all,

I just found these two great articles, one arguing that your gear does not matter, and that a good photographer can take a good picture with any camera.

The other took real offence, and wrote a quite heated reply.

I was wondering what you all thought, and in which camp you pitch your tent.

Your camera DOESN'T matter

Your camera DOES matter

In the words of Roger Waters
"It's like saying give a man a Les Paul and he becomes Eric Clapton"

This is from an interview where they are being criticized for using a lot of new technology to make their music.

Yes, equipment DOES matter, but it will not make the picture, much less a GOOD picture.

This are the two statements that I think sum all up:

- Photography is not possible without a camera and a lens.

- The word "image" comes from the word "imagination."

And that is it, you need a good equipment, but without imagination, you will get nowhere.

Regards,
Felipe
