Does gear really improve your photography?
I've been shooting street photography for seven years, and the transition to mirrorless cameras like the Sony A7 series felt inevitable, yet I still grab my old DSLR when I want that optical viewfinder feel. Does gear really shape the way we see, or is it just a comfort zone that holds back our creative growth? I've seen stunning shots from phone cameras that beat anything from expensive setups, which makes me wonder if we're overvaluing the tool and undervaluing the eye behind it. What's your take from your own experience—has upgrading ever actually made your photos better, or just made you feel more professional?
