Seeing these guys tonight
Bad news people. If you take boring-ass photos of flowers and dogs at 12 megapixels, you are going to take boring-ass photos of flowers and dogs at 36 megapixels. Period, end of story.
… A camera won’t save you. It won’t make you a better photographer. In fact, obsessing about it has probably made you a worse photographer. Save yourself some money and go shoot some photos with whatever is in your hands or on your shelf right now. You don’t need any of that bullshit gear right now, and when you do need it, you will know.”

What is written about a person or an event is frankly an interpretation, as are handmade visual statements, like paintings and drawings. Photographed images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it, miniatures of reality that anyone can make or acquire.
