This actually inspired me to finally rip apart a DVD drive for the lens. It's awsome... make a little metal clip for my BB so it can slip up and down but always be ready.

He have one very good point.

There are just too many photographers out there that have professional rigs, but either don't know basic composition stuff like rules of thirds, or just don't know how to use the whole setup.

I mean, nothing is worse than seeing an expensive dSLR owner using it ONLY in full-auto mode...

Of course the ideal thing would be having all three:
1. Creativity
2. Knowledge
3. Equipment

You don't need all three to get great photos though... but it is in order of importance, as I see it.

The best camera is the one you have with you. Which is why I bring my DSLR to work with me every day.
I have an iPhone 3G, and it is seriously the worst camera I have ever used in my life.
Dear Apple, please add a hard button to take pictures.

@suburbancowboy: Add a hard button? As long as you don't have to take the audio jack off to press it. Never fear, Apple won't phallus.

Were the pictures altered/enhanced in post in any way? Not that I'm putting doing that down, if they were. You can pretty much have access to the same tools as the pros do nowadays free online, so there's more hope for the rest of us.

@GitEmSteveDave_IsWaving: You can alter a bad photo to make it better, but no amount of altering will make a badly composed photo into a great photo.

I checked out the iphone photos he has online. I see this as proof that it's the photographer not the camera that makes a good photograph.

@chauncy that billups: you know -- depending on how you read your statement -- that could be a good "OH GAAAAAAADD" or a bad.
