Couldn’t agree more Jim.
Which is why I continue to reluctantly sell the tools of my trade,
which allowed me earn my keep for half a century.

I marvel at what the iPhone and its tiny auxiliary lenses can do.
Though it does take its own form of skills and techniques to pull the best out of it.
Yet that’s been true of every kit I’ve ever used.

George
