Quotes from Ken Rockwell

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

Photography is the power of observation, not the application of technology.

You need to learn to see and compose. The more time you waste worrying about your equipment the less time you'll have to put into creating great images. Worry about your images, not your equipment.

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.
