It is amazing what having the right equipment can do in your quality of photos or in basically any job to do. Of course what comes with that is knowledge in how to use technology and machinery that makes the task easier. I still have so much to learn. I go a little cross eyed trying to learn these technologies. I do think that much of my sucess (however small) with photography is that my subject is just so photogenic! But what mother doesn't feel that way :)
