PHOTOGRAPHY DO’S AND DON’TS. Part 2.
DON’Ts
Venerate equipment — The best answer to the question of what kind of camera the photographer is using is, “It doesn’t matter.” I have always viewed professional cameras and lenses as a limitation, hoping for a future where a camera will fit into my pocket.

The weightless feeling of working unburdened by equipment restores photography to its primal intent of connecting and communicating through images.
