Proof that a good camera does not make you a good photographer.

This man has spent thousands of dollars for a nice shiny Leica.

1. hey...

alfredo... I thought you were going to say "just look at handmade"

...with the equipment I have, I should be a master

[alfredo]

5. To tell the truth, I've seen some crappy photos from Leica users. Some of my

all time favorites were made with a small sensor point and shoot.

Taken with a Canon G10, severely cropped and processed to give a nightmarish feel.

2. he could send that to me ... although i do goof with my video camera

hit pause instead of record and miss many minutes of viddy

[alfredo]

6. I screwed up photos of Athens Greece because I didn't take off the bottom lens cap on my

Yashica D.

3. teehee

4. two wrong out of three ain't bad

one: I don't look like him
two: My equipment is no nice shiny Leica

for the rest ....it's silence

[alfredo]

7. A DSLR prevents such disasters, allowing the photographer to search for a

more creative disaster.

8. Perhaps

If he took a look at his gold Rolex he'd see it was time to take the lens cap off.

9. But his shirt looks OTR (off the rack).

10. If it's stupid, I've done it

Forgetting to set camera so it won't take a picture if there's no CF Card is the stupid is stupid does. There I was snappin' away getting some great pics when the little light bulb started to glow, very faintly.

11. I forgot to put the battery in one time. I was only 5 minutes from home, so the damage

was not severe.

12. There needs to be a qualification test to buy a Leica

They have the greatest ability to turn you into a rotten photographer because of the way they're designed.

[Stevenmarc]

13. Well

Most snapshotists would never touch a camera that they actually have to focus manually that's in the five figures but there's always someone with more money than sense.

[alfredo]

14. It's hard to tell a guy with a seven grand

camera that his photos are out of focus and way too dark.
