From an interview with National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry:
Has gear choice become more of an issue?
I don't want to get too technical. I hate all of that. "…whatever one wants to do to achieve what they want to do with photography — whether it's pinhole or a Leica or an 8×10 view camera or whatever. It's your work. It's like a poem. You put the poem on the table and you read it and no one is going to ask you if you typed it or wrote it out long hand. No one cares how long it took or how many re-drafts you did. How many pictures did you shoot? It doesn't matter. The proof is the final print."
