Simplicity and Photography. It’s not about the gadgets.
Two links to Ken Rockwell’s site, both of these articles resonant with me.
Regarding the first article, as a somewhat gadget obsessed dude that also like photography I can empathize. I know that some of my best photographs were with relatively ancient cameras; and some of my worst photos have been with the “latest and greatest”.
The second article is similar to the first one, except going into a bit more of what really makes for good photography.

Painters and other artists often pick up any crappy camera and make excellent images fast because they know seeing, visualization, composition and lighting, and immediately apply basic adjustments to change brightness and to optimize colors.
Enjoy, and a big thanks to Ken for writing nice articles!
NOTE: one of my favorite photos of all time, taken with a relatively ancient Olympus E-20 camera: 
I really love the shapes and color texture in your photo…
Natural light?
One of my favorites of what I have taken, was accomplished with a very wide angle lens, used lots of studio flash, and gels, and has a really cool T Bird… using a D90… so… is this simple gear, or complex…?
