If you have a Porsche you still have to drive it. It doesn't mean
that a better driver won't do better in the Porsche than in a minivan.
I don't question the central importance of the photographer. But if
the equipment doesn't matter then we're all idiots for spending all
this money on bodies and lenses.
But a "better driver" might well do better in a minivan than a poor
driver in a Porsche.
I'm not saying better equipment doesn't matter. I'm saying that
improving yourself as a photographer matters *more* for you to get full
value from that better equipment.
Better equipment by itself won't improve your skills. At best, it offers
less of an impediment for you to improve your skills.
Case in point ... could any amount of better equipment make Kenny Boy a
"better" photographer?
