Are all Photographers dull?

It has occurred to me that, whenever a ‘Photographer’ starts talking about technical aspects of photography – I glaze over and want to be somewhere else. I once endured a monologue from a ‘Photographer’ which comprised mostly a list of equipment. Occasionally, he would pause to ask barely decipherable questions, “Did you say you had the Mamiya RZ or RB?”, or, “What do you make of the ‘Blad H3?” – “Not sure” was my honest reply. It took me a while to conjour a question to shut him up’ “So what sort of pictures do you take”, I asked. Silence. You see, he could talk about equipment, processes, ISO’s and f-stop preferences. But when it comes down to it – who ever asks about ‘all that stuff’ when you look at a good image? It would be like reading a manuscript and asking ‘what PC did you write that on?’

I sell thousands of prints every month and have lots of cameras. Don’t ask me what they are. But I can show you what they can do. Gregg
