though that does become a separate issue from the image itself
for the viewer.

as an image viewer we say, "the gear is immaterial; it's a powerful 
photograph; irrespective of the gear."

but as a photographer it matters a whole lot.
the black smiths have their favorite hammers and anvils.
the painters their brushes.
the barbers their shears.
Ann has two pair of shears. 15 years old. Identical models. One of them is 
the favorite. The other a backup, "which I don't really like using because 
of the way they've been sharpened over the years."
