You could draw an analogy and say that the absence of technology technology will be missed in photography, but in itself it adds nothing. So you have to have the right equipment to take photos but the equipment alone can't do it for you, hence you gain nothing by having it. I find a great way to approach any equipment purchases (and be nice to my credit card at the same time) is to ask myself "what does this do that I currently can't?" if that makes sense. Then again I fail and buy stuff to toy with, I guess i'm just your average male :) Cheers, Simon Hi Tony,

Out of 100% 10 % is technical and you should know that but the rest is creativity and up to you. Lets not forget it is the Eyes who sees the image first...and sometimes I am quiet content if I miss that shot to bring back the memory instead. I might not be able to share the visual but at least I can talk about it and that is nice too. Nothing wrong with technology, I use it too, but Photography is about seeing things and not all those technical gadgets. Sometimes I am thinking to go back to film for a few weeks just to proof a point of course above the waves and not below.
