Amen. I found it interesting, typical, and disgusting that while I set
up my camera at APIS several "photographers" ask me things like: What
kind of camera? What kind of lens? What kind of ______? Aside from
being annoying, they're missing the point. The question to be asked is
WHAT KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHER ARE YOU? At least it's a question I would
enjoy answering.
