I am an avid fan of Seth Godin & read his daily blog.
One of his posts from last week was applicable to photographers, writers and musicians as well.
“When everyone has access to the same tools…then having a tool isn’t much of an advantage.
The industrial age, the age of scarcity, depended in part on the advantages that came with owning tools others didn’t own. Time for a new advantage. It might be your network, the connections that trust you. And it might be your expertise. But most of all, I’m betting it’s your attitude.”

We are well past the industrial age and people do have access to tools (cheaper, better DSLRs). Could it be that some of us are clinging to very industrial age photography standards?
