• I’ve met too many people who think the number they associate to a thing somehow makes them a better user of it.

    Tons of people take amazing photos with tons of thought and skill involved in composition and everything, with a phone camera or shitty digital from 2010.

    People who use the price of the equipment to justify expense instead of the quality of their work are usually bad at whatever it is they’re charging for.

      You can shift the quality a lot with great equipment, but that requires you to know what you’re doing first. And it still depends on what you’re trying to shoot. Somebody trying to capture a great moment in high speed sports might need a better camera than a cat dad. But without knowing how to use it, it is worth nothing.
