It's easy to get lost in the allure of fine photography gear. Believe me I've done it. Years ago, I came to know this old photographer named Frank G. who told me that when he started out making pictures in the 1920's he had one camera and one lens and he "shot" lots of pictures. Shortly thereafter, as his bank account grew, he acquired another lens and another camera.
