"The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE." -Ernst Haas

The majority of the photos I've taken have been with simple digital cameras--the kind that anyone can use (cannon powershot)--does that make my photos a lesser quality? Perhaps. As far as detail, edges and blurriness goes my camera is prone to them all. But I don't believe that lessens the value of the photo. In my opinion, cameras are a pain in the ass and I don't like them. They are just an obstacle one must jump over to preserve what the artist SEEs. Some of the most beautiful and clever photos I've ever seen have been taken with disposables and polaroids. Its not the camera that makes the photo, its the artist who had the vision.

"Maybe because it's entirely an artist's eye, patience and skill that makes an image and not his tools." -Ken Rockwell

"No matter how advanced your camera you still need to be responsible for getting it to the right place at the right time and pointing it in the right direction to get the photo you want." -Ken Rockwell

"The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking." -Brooks Anderson
