I had the same idea to repost it from KvR. Really interesting. The discussion about it is very interesting, too.

I agree sort of but i do think having a fairly good camera does matter when taking pictures, and as an artist myself i think it comes down to what you yourself thinks is a great picture, by that i mean something you think is amazing could be considered rubbish by someone else but to you it could seem perfect, in art theres no such thing as perfect picture though in general becuase everyone has a different view.

Yes Dan,
I'm with ya. As Nuffink said in the quoted KvR thread: This photographer was the anti - example of an artist who thinks that his tools are not important. So ... 😉 I think the whole thing can be easily overrated. It's easy to say that the tools are nothing or you can say with the same ease that tools are everything. For me the truth is somewhere in between. And I HATE it when people tell me where MY sweet spot in between HAS to be. That's (pure) poor pride, ignorance, snobberrism, stoopiditty, etc. If a noob thinks he needs 10 Virus TIs, 3 full blown up ProTools systems, 10 Lexicon 480Ls, etc. to get what he thinks he wants to do: GO FOR IT!!! If you can afford it, of course. If OnePinOnly is what you think is sufficient to do what you're after. SO BE IT!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
All the best, FRitz

And of course the guy could have a really good camera and just be telling everyone he uses old or bad cameras so they don't take as good pictures as him, you never know.... 😀

Yeah,
as if Hans Zimmer would say: Hey folks, I made this all with my new $30 Casio kiddie keyboard. No overdubs, all played live." 😀 😀 😀 😀

Only two words: Hammond and Moog. Surely a B3 isn't enough to create A whiter shade of pale (in fact it was a lesser Hammond, if I'm not wrong), but it's needed.

Well, I take 90% of my pictures in dark places (clubs, galleries), & my cheap digital camera is only ISO200, not nearly enough to take good pictures there (even with tons of Photoshop). & the usual audio engeneering rule of thumb is "record right the 1st time" because it's nearly impossible (& too much hassle) to get a crappy recording up to par.
On the other hand, I do take advice from Electonic Musician long ago: "You can get 90% of what you need for 1/2 the price". But now with cheap programs, it can drop to 1/4.
