This reminds me of a girl that contacted me once, she wanted to be a photographer and asked if she could assist me. She showed me her "portfolio" consisting of vacation shots and boring snaps around town, all straight from the camera I might add. I took pity on her and brought her on an editorial fashion shoot, afterwards I bought her dinner and I tried to give her some tips, but I could tell she was pretty much convinced that she was already an accomplished photographer (she had sold one of her photos of a building facade to an AD agency after all). As expected I never heard from her again, about a year later though I hear she started a company and even got grant money for "most promising business idea of the year", the idea you ask? She started a website where other companies can upload a brief detailing photographs they need while paying little to no money and then have average joe who think it's "fun to take pictures" bid on the assignment. Needless to say I facepalmed.

Killjoys. There goes another dream ruined.

So, I can't improve my photography by purchasing a more expensive camera?

What about using a different film? Won't my prints be much better then?

So where can I get one of those 9~900mm zooms??

Instant classic!

I bet if he had an iPhone 4s, she'd be hummin a different tune. All those apps to make your photos into ART!

I always say that having a Stradivarius makes you a Stradivarius owner, not a violinist.

Those are new Chinese imports with leaded glass.

Not without some paper that's not made anymore ...

You'll need a film that makes wonderful negatives, and an enlarger and paper that make wonderful prints. Don't forget, to use the enlarger, you'll need electricity that makes wonderful light.

different film, different lens, different camera, different enlarger, different chemistry ..
it is that the eye ( and maybe micro brain surgery ) transplants will cost a lot of money

you know ... so you can SEE different

Have any of you heard of this about photographers. "Without a portfolio, they're just a gypsy with a camera."

Photographer, maybe not, entrepreneur, maybe.

That one's awesome, Ian. 'Get back to your desk and get some work done. And stop wasting my time!'

Anybody with a camera calls themselves a photographer. Here's an example.

They obviously need a better camera with shake reduction, built-in composition intelligence, and automatic pose generator!

People who own Rolls-Royce cars have chauffeurs, Bentleys were the considered to be a sports car version of the marque, and more likely be driven by the owner.
