absolutely right Martin. I have seen stunning pictures taken with a 
praktika (any living being out there who knows what that is) and I know 
people carrying around kilos of hightech but hardly able to produce a 
decent picture. So what I try to point out is first of all it´s being at 
the right time at the right place, and your eyes.  Hightech can wash the 
charm out of your pictures. Photography has never been as popular as 
since whe started to take realy bad pictures with our phones. How came 
we so obsessed with better equipment. It was because someone succeeded 
to let us believe that we needed it to be able to make nice pictures.
