MY WORK
"If I feel something strongly, I make a photograph. I do not attempt to explain the feeling." Ansel Adams.
"Photography is the power of observation, not the application of technology." Ken Rockwell.
"Necessity is not a fact, it's an interpretation." Friedrich Nietzsche.
"Any good modern lens is corrected for maximum definition at the larger stops. Using a small stop only increases depth..." Ansel Adams, June 3, 1937,
1.)Good tools just get out of the way and make it easier to get the results you want. Lesser tools may take more work.
2.) They add durability for people who use these tools hard all day, every day.
3.) Advanced users may find some of the minor extra features convenient. These conveniences make the photographer's life easier, but they don't make the photos any better.
4.) Hey, there's nothing wrong with the best tools, and if you have the money to blow why not? Just don't ever start thinking that the fancy tools are what created the work.
"Leica, schmeica. 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 commented on this in a workshop in 1985:
