I'd love to see what I could capture with a $20 camera. I’ve been scouring my local craigslist for a cheapie little point-n-shoot digital to keep in my pocket.

So often, I've had people rush up to me holding their newest overpriced wondercamera. They want me to be impressed, to let them know that I approve of their purchase. Yet I know folks who can outshoot them on a bad day with a cheapie Kodak point and shoot. In fact, I keep such a camera in my camera bag for those moments when I need to get back to basics. It reminds me that great photographs are indeed born in the mind, and that cameras don't take pictures. People do. So true.
