"Gear Envy" - a photo on Flickriver

"Gear Envy"

            A painful or resentful awareness of an advantage or possession enjoyed by another and the desire to possess the same thing. 

Its not the equipment (gear) that makes a good photographer. The best gear just makes it easier to take a photograph. There a millions of "technically good" photographs that are soulless, boring and without a story.

I always look at an image (not just photographs) and consider  - would I hang it on my wall and look at it everyday?
I suppose that's the difference between a good image and a great one.
