On the off chance that I’m not the only holiday shopping procrastinator…

… I may still be able to make a print for you in time for Christmas and send it via overnight Express Mail. Email me right away if you are interested.

Following up on the previous post: Good photography results when good equpiment, competent technique, and vision are in balance. Having a great subject helps.

Michael Reichmann at Luminous Landscape:

One of the hoariest old chestnuts in photography is the statement immediately above. Every time I read it chills run down my spine. It seems that whenever someone asks on an online forum whether lens A or B is superior, or if camera A is better than camera B, someone drags out this ancient aphorism. Its purpose, I suppose, is to show superiority of intellect, but basically it’s just plain wrong-headed.

Amen!

While I doubt I’ll act on his suggestion, Reichmann say that the next time someone says this we might want to “whack them upside the head and tell them to stop being such a simplistic dolt.”
