I don't think the technical details of digital photography are particularly interesting. One must master them, to be sure, but I feel that many photographers spend way too much time and energy fretting about pixel counts, lens sharpness, and printing papers, and too little working on their vision and aesthetic sensibilities. Just think of all the technically perfect but dull-as-dirt photos you see out there! Technical skill is a means to an end and should never be the end itself.

And we have been blessed with continual technological advances in the world of cameras and lenses. No longer is it necessary to haul around a full-frame DSLR and $10,000 worth of heavy lenses to get technically excellent photos. It's a good thing, too, as my increasing age makes it less and less pleasant for me to haul a lot of heavy gear. Even so, full-frame cameras produce exceptional technical quality and with the advent of mirrorless cameras they are less onerous to carry.

The photos in my portfolio have been taken with a wide range of cameras, ranging from a cheap Casio point-and-shoot to my current high-end Sony A7-R4. It's the photographer and not the camera! In the off chance that anyone is interested, here is a rundown of the equipment and software I currently use.
