Great lil' anecdote on Photography

[vonnagy]

When Jack London had his portrait made by the noted San Francisco photographer Arnold Genthe, London began the encounter with effusive praise for the photographic art of his friend and fellow bohemian, Genthe. "you must have a wonderful camera...It must be the best camera in the world...You must show me your camera."

Genthe then used his standard studio camera to make what has since become a classic picture of Jack London. When the sitting was finished, Genthe could not contain himself: "I have read your books, Jack, and I think they are important works of art. You must have a wonderful typewriter."

I know i may have posted it back in the yesteryears of the forum, but it deserves another post

And how many of us have been in that situation...someone looks at a nice picture that you took and says "wow...you must have a really good camera!"

On the flip side when I take a bad shot it's the camera's fault!
