I had a Stone-masoning / stone carving teacher once (one semester) who told me about how he used to go to these stone masoninng conferences, and there were people who had the best tools and they'd parade around the tools they had, but didn't make anything. But they did have the tools and how that was cool for them.

I always think about this with photography and how much my perspective has changed over time. When I was young, I thought that if I had the same expensive tools as the veterans, I could create the same quality work. As I age, I realize that tools are just that, tools. It’s about what you do with them. If I learn how to use the tools, but don’t apply what I’ve learned to create for myself, it’s not nearly as meaningful to me.

I was just writing about that too. I agree with you 👍 . By the way, photographers often ask me what this shot or another one was photographed with, I am always surprised by such a question. First of all, the photo shows what focal length it was taken at, and secondly, with an accuracy of 80% it is clear under what light it was photographed and if it is artificial light, then it is clear what its scheme is.

when someone asks me what camera I used for a shot, it’s not that it’s completely irrelevant, but it usually feels like they are missing the mark with what they are trying to learn
