Camera vs Photographer

James Estrin once wrote in a New York Times photo blog - Lens, about fellow New York Times photographer Damon Winter's work covering lives of US soldiers in Afghanistan. His blog post also featured series of images captured by Winter using his iPhone.

James wrote, "Does it really matter what camera Damon Winter used to make these beautifully composed images? I don't think so. It's the images that are important. Whenever possible, I avoid writing about camera gear. The photographer takes the picture, not the equipment. Few people care what kind of typewriter Hemingway used."

I couldn't agree more! It really is the photographer's vision that makes the image unique.

Inspired by Winter's work, here is also my take on "camera vs photographer" using iPhone and Retro Camera App.
